A wonderful new years trip at Rogers Pass,
Maria touring up on a bluebird day
A great group for amazing ski days, L to R, Devin, me Kendall, Cailan, Maria,
Cailan and I at Asulkan Hut looking forward to powder on the way down.
And then it when a bit wrong. A bad landing from a jump at Kicking Horse in Golden. Up until the accident it was a great day with Cailan in mid januray, I love the Purcells and i love hanging out in Golden.
People had mentioned that tech binding dont release as easily at diamir. this was front impact on the tip of the ski and the binding (onyx from G3) didnt release. From now on I wont ski resorts in tech bindings, not with Cailan anyway=)
Below is the rebuild. very glad i landed in great hands in Cranbrook. i was well looked after. Not something I always expect when I live in a country that is not my own. I stopped counting the professionals that helped me. but the biggest thanks go to Cailan, who is x-ski patrol and had me off the mountain before i new what had happened, and Maria who drove for 20hours straight to get me home to Kelowna.
that screw looks suspicious.....

ehem, I mean gosh darn it that break looks absolutely horrendous. Did you meanage to break both bits of your leg? Looks like it.
Ouch and double ouch. Still.. great to be in good hands.. really makes you feel at home in a place I think.
Get well soon... and good to know about the bindings! Might yet take up skiing this year.
Looks like the "Build" now includes legs.
Hope the pain is easing and the rest is happening.
See you soon in UK.

Wow, so thats what the inside of your leg looks like! That explains the location of the scars. At least your knee and ankle are break-free. Good luck with one-legged yoga!
oh b*gger!
Looks like a pretty good break, guy at work did similar on his motor bike, the pin that came out is pretty hefty. One for the mantle piece....
Hope you manage to find some one legged activities to pass the time!
