All was fun and well till my novice snow-boarding skills kicked in and I endo'd somewhere between 10-15 mph. The wind was knocked out of me, I blacked out (I think), and got a ride down the side of the mountain courtesy of the Heavenly, snow-mobile towed sled (which from what I remember, actually hurt the most :).
Thank you to the gentleman who helped me unclip my board (I think), and thank you to Will and your lady friend (sorry, I forgot your name) for talking and joking with me till the Ski Patrol took over- I really wanted to be at the Fire and Ice at 6:00 that night but my loved ones said "take it easy and rest."
And, of course, thank you to Jeremy and Jeff of the Heavenly Ski Patrol, and Cindy, Gillian, Bill, Dawn, Dr Cawdere and Kathy (or Kristina, I'm sorry I'm fuzzy on your name) at the Heavenly emergent care clinic.
I'm definitely looking forward to my next run on the slopes- with a helmet. :)
