some years back I busted my ankle the second day of the season and was out till march.
GTA: SA and Risk got me through the boring times.
I currently have two friends who are busted up... one broke his ankle the first day the hill was open - out till march, another friend who just broke his back yesterday... (broken tail bone and a compounded vert) we don't know how long he's out for yet.
I think they're going to be hanging out a lot this winter.
