I hope you have a speedy recovery...enjoy the down time...before i switched to boarding. I was in a ski accident that scared the shit out of me. i was going down a black diamond trail , everything was going great until i hit the moguls..i hit he first one wrong and it got worse. i jabbed the grip on the pole in my neck...no permanent damage but it did partly collapse my trachea. it was tough as hell to get down to be helped.
