What went through your head on your very last run of the year?

Didn't think i was taking my last run of the year since my home mountain promised to stay open for 1 more week, then boom they close on a thursday, and i find out at 3;30 at school. Fuck me.
 
This year I had a year good end of season. The last day the hill was open I was headed home to go mountain biking. Moving on to the next sport. But then my firend and I realized that just because the chairs aren't spinning doesn't mean we can't ski. We hiked up the hill for about a month after the ski hill closed. One day we caught ourself in a good pow day in April. Where we live that's good. Anyway after the hill closed and we hiked, we treated everyday hiking to find the snow like it was out last for the season. This made the season really great.

On another note we also hiked up before the hill opened. Will definitely be doing more pre-season/late-season hiking.

Also there's some glaciers around where we live and I plan going to those and getting in a few more short runs.
 
"Hm, let's duck off to the left here, looks like relatively few tracks and calf deep...

... a bit rocky, but wheeeeee! ...

... I'm a go jump off that thing...

*land* Oh shit, a nice big exposed rock band, better hit the brakes and go around it ...

... fuck, not gonna make it ...

... shit, what was that sound my knee just made...

... god dammit not again."
 
"That day was awesome, can't wait for tomorrow"

Then I got severe altitude sickness, and had to spend the second half of my spring break in a hospital.
 
This thread is too depressing. It needs more happy stories!

I'm pretty sure my last day this year was at Jay and it was 40 degrees and snowing... not your average last day. I wasn't sure if it was going to be my last day at the time but I think it ended up being it.

Your hill closes before April? Whats your hill
 
I threw a shifty off a very large jump. In the air I thought to myself

"Bye ski season. I'll miss you."

Then I knuckled the shit out of it.
 
Last run? What are you talking about? I hiked to ski at Alta a few days ago, I am going to again in a few days, and when that's melted I'll go to Mount Timpanogos a few times and hike to that snow field, and if that melts too maybe I'll go to Mount Hood, then when it starts snowing again I'll hike some more turns before the lifts start running. There is never a last run.
 
"God im drunk from this on-mountain closing party. Think im gonna bone that tall chick in leopard print pants."

It was a good year.
 
Subway

St.Padys Day

We were all headed down to our cars after a long day at keystone, hungry as fuck wanting subway. Hauling ass i make it to the rollers where it meets with Schoolmarm. Not knowing that park crew had made them steeper i went to absorb the first one and aired to the knuckle of the second roller. I explode and slide into the tree next to the lift tower. Felt like i knocked the wind out of me since i hit the tree with my chest. I ended up being taken down to the clinic on a sled. they checked me out and see that i have some internal bleeding. Take an ambulance to the hospital in Frisco. After 5 minutes of being checked out there they say that I lacerated my liver and collapsed my right lung and was bleeding profusely internally. The helicopter couldn't take me cause of the wind so i took the ambulance down to denver and 12 bags of blood had to be pumped into me.

Get to the hospital and go immediately into surgery. Put into a medically induced coma for a day. wake up with the doctors all around me astounded that i was a live. They told me my situation and that there was a 50% chance of me surviving. during this whole trip and the surgery i thought it was just a simple injury. 2 days later i had to have my lung inflated which consisted of them putting a large syringe through my back and to my lungs. I wanted to die at that moment. Seriously it was THE most painful thing I had ever experienced.

After 3 weeks of being in the hospital I had lost 30lbs and couldn't breathe nor go home since the pressure of being at 10,000feet in summit would cause my lung to collapse again.

That experience was just a blur. I went immediately from skiing to almost dying all with the thought of getting some subway with some homies.

Holy fuck dude, glad you're okay. That's some serious shit
 
I was like, i have a tick on me in the middle of feb, then i was like lime disease special for 3.99$ must have been a cross country skiier.

now my knee is swollen and I own several pairs of cross country skiis that dont belong to me.
 
slamming my head into glacial ice almost just enhanced the high of that doobie...i don't know if I'm down for another run though
