Heh, at least you stopped. My worst ski accident so far has been a wipeout on a mogu. The crash left me so dazed, I didn't realise I was actually still upright on the skis but crouched down until a few moments later. I finally came to and saw the trees at the bottom of the run quickly approaching, so I leaned a quick as I could to fall into the snow properly.

The most bizare incident was when my left boot shattered. This occured when I was at the top of a mountain with blue and black runs being the only way down. Wasn't fun with only 20% control of one of the skis.

I'll probably try snowboarding next season. This recent one was horrible from the lack of snow here in Colorado (except for the blizzard last week), so I didn't have any decent snow time to learn.
