i broke the rules of the huck, paid the price
Went up to Alta today. At the top of the wildcat lift they had a platform that was about 15-20 ft off the snow. Me being the idiot that i am, i thought it would be cool to huck it onto what appeared to be a nice fluffy landing, didnt think about poling the landing. As i took off, my right ski came off in midair, after i landed, i had the painful realization that the landing was not at all fluffy, just 6 inches of windblown on top of a nice jagged rock. thankfully i didnt hit my head, but i nearly bit my tounge off. This JONG relearned a very important lesson, ALWAYS POLE YOUR LANDING. embarrasing pic to come later.

yeah and no, there was plenty of snow (landing was poled), didnt hurt myself too bad, was still able to ski the entire day, just a really sore back for the next couple days. luckily i was able to just walk this one off, prolly just gonna stick to makin turns until we get a few more feet.
