I wont take it personally since I use to compete. Injury/risk is part of the game. When you jump a 60 foot gap, $hit can happen! And the concusions were all before helmets were available. I wear one now. When I was younger, just cruising wasnt enough fun. Had to always go bigger, higher, spin more and go inverted.
My black eyes are always from landing on the back of my neck and having my knees punish my face.
And by the way, Ive never once had ski patrol bring me down the mountain.
As for skiiers, I hate you guys too.... the 80's called, they want their 1 piece flourescent suits back!

ok ok... so you don't need a lesson. But extreme SKIERS get hurt too, ya know. One just died about a week ago in Utah. Ever heard of Warren Miller films? uh huh. I got a personal lesson from someone who used to ski in his movies... he noticed I was having trouble trying to get up after a fall... just ~ a month after having major abdominal surgery.
And just so you know: skiing has been around LONG before the 80s.
It takes a lot more skill to become an EXPERT skier than it does to become the equivalent level boarder.
But hey, apples and oranges...
