I remember last year, I was skiing across a traverse and snagged my ski on a root, it twisted off my foot and that was the last I saw of it. I looked for a while until the end of the day. Then I went to patrol to request a sled ride to the Gondola. Next day, I grabbed some Icelantic demoes (didn't like them all to much), and went skiing/looking. I found my buddy at the ski hills lost Volkl Gotama first, hidden in the trees. It was lost for a month or two. Then later found mine, hidden at the very top of the traverse. It was white though.
