Here some good ones both are my buddy, a non-mag, the second pic was comming down colters at bb after 45'' in 24, you can just see the top of his head took me a long time to find his other ski usin my probe--the first one was a failed back flip attempt
Somewhere near alta...
Man, I wish I had some pics of some of my double ejects or both tips sinking and causing me to do a flip and slam into the snow or the famous I had two skis in knee deep pow but now I am on 1 wipe outs.
Lucky I haven't seriously hurt myself trying to get better at off piste/powder skiing this year. :rolleyes2

Not my picture (she knows I am posting it), but its my roommate eating shit at the Fernie comp. She walked away from it somehow, I think I would have severed both legs with a crash like this.
^ Owwwwwwie that looks painful :(
^^ She was fine. No injuries.
This one has me in tears!!
Guess I should contribute:
