It's spelled boarders/boarding by the way .. just had to point that out
I was supposed to try boarding this year but due to not having a credit card I wasn't able too. You have to use a credit card to put down a $400 or a $500 deposit if you rent the board/boots and all that and I don't have one.
Worst skiing experience was when my friend and I managed to get lost and end up on a black diamond hill and the only way off the hill was down it. She sent me first and I was just going too fast and losing control .. so I made myself fall and rolled a couple of times, lost a ski and messed up my knee pretty good. All of this happening right under a chair lift to many whistles and people clapping at me and shouting out "are you okay?" so in the end it was kinda funny.
Another time I fell and jammed the pole into my chin which was bleeding pretty good and left a huge bruise.

Lets see...hmmmm
1. Broken Nose(man did I bleed)
2. Severly sprained my ankles(at the same time)-I tried a jump
3. Tore Ligaments and Tendons in my knee-the same chair lift
4. Bone Chips in my knee-chair lift again.
5. Bone chips in my elbow-chair lift again
6. Squashed my testicles when I took out a snow fence
7. Torn abdominal muscle-just a simple little wipe out.
The sad thing is that I've only been skiing 3 times before...needless to say...I don't like to ski or board now. Im such a clutz

Skiing rocks!! I'm going up to Blue Mountain in a few weeks for a weekend!
Last week we went skiing and I rented those small skiis (snowblades) and those are really fun!!~ It's real easy to do turns and crazy jumps

I ran into a tree once trying to avoid an ice patch .. but it just clipped my ski so I managed to stay on my feet

I really think chairlifts hate you. The only injury I've got was fracturing my clavicle, but that had nothing to do with snowboarding.

I didn't say collarbone because of the ALK3 reference.

Sure skiing/snowboarding is fun..when one's not wiping out and hurting one self...ie-me. I wish I had just clipped the chair lift.....heck I wish i just missed it.
I'm more of a snow mobling type of guy.

I'm going to Holiday Valley for 3 days. I can't wait.
I sprained my wrist. But I've only been doing this for one season. So we'll see.

I go skiing every year and so far I've managed to avoid injury. Yay!
