I will be surprised if I ski at all this weekend. Been nursing my back since Tues, and I somehow reinjured it last night while I was asleep. I can't even stand up right now, ugh... It's so much worse today I can't even express it in words. Took me 5 mins to get my fucking sweatpants on. Forget socks lol

Last year my stupid logic thought it would be a good idea to get some hats made up w/the old classic "MM" logo. I never really got off my ass to sell these things. So now I have these hats,.......I'd like to make something happen. For obvious reasons, she has not been able to work. The bar will help. They'll be for sale & raffled off. ALL proceeds to Hanna.

Hats..Genuine Turtle Fur. They're real nice. Grey, Green, & Black.

I will donate approx. 50 hats. The goal is no less that $1000 to Hanna. Just an FYI for those who see this up there this weekend. Help if you can even if just a hug. End. Thank you.

I'm in for one at 25 as well. You are a good dude

Dude that sucks, I've had the same thing happen while sailing a few years back. Tweaked it and then a few days later could barely walk to work.

Go to the doctor. They will given you a prescription strength anti inflammatory and possibly a muscle relaxer. You won't be able to drink or ski for three days. But you will get 100% better. If you put it off you will continue to hate life.

**GetAmped** · 02-13-2015, 08:06 AM

Skiing yesterday was a good call. Comfortable temps and incredibly good snow conditions. The top of Magician is completely filled in with big soft lines all the way down. Why is that rope up again? There are no ledges on Black; it's all filled in.

**RustyGroomer** · 02-13-2015, 08:13 AM

The rope is there so one can get tangled up in it like I always seem to do. That's what gives it Expert status.

Exactly...I was supposed to be in Utah Tuesday thru Saturday this week. It was something like 59 degrees at the top of Alta on Wednesday.

Looked at the forecast and cancelled the Utah trip to ski more pow in Vermont.

NOooooooooooo!
What about the dehydrations??!!

**MMP** · 02-13-2015, 09:32 AM

The notion that you can't drink on muscle relaxers is folly. His liver is nailzzz.

I wonder how many trips DW could make up and down on Red if he fell asleep, before anyone noticed?

**radam** · 02-13-2015, 09:50 AM

I'm kind of sort of in the market for some new skis. Does anyone have anything in the 105ish underfoot, 180ish in length, rockered, fun all over the mountain but can still hold an edge when shit gets firm category with bindings that'll fit my 315mm bsl? I'd love to try some stuff out rather than buying blind as I've done for almost every purchase in the past. My success rate has not been high and I'm getting tired of flipping skis. I'll be around all weekend (and next weekend, and the one after...) so let me know.

Back out of alignment and you have muscle spasms

If you don’t doctor up and get some drugs, run this protocol:

hot compress and vitamin I (800mg every 4 hrs for a twelve hour cycle)
Then reduce V-I (motrin is good) by 100mg and add 1hr to your intake over the next 72 hours.
Drink lots of water to increase metabolic flow and to protect kidneys.
Apply a hot compress, then kneading and stretch (no matter how little you can accomplish) the affected area as well as 1.5x stretch of the opposite muscle group every 20 minutes.

Stretch associated muscle groups as much as possible.
If the pain is in the lumbar area (lower back), get after your hamstrings as they will twist your hips out of alignment. Get the hips squared up and the back alignment will be easier.

I'm not a doctor and I skipped the holiday inn express last night.

Finding a good chiropractor will not hurt your quality of life.
Go to the fire house and ask who the best local chiropractor is.
Fireman gots this data cold.

(yea, it's an old post)

**kokomas** · 02-13-2015, 03:36 PM

I tried and tried but there is still too much untouched out there for you all tomorrow. Sorry about that.

**powbmps** · 02-13-2015, 06:15 PM

Forced family fun tomorrow, but I should be there Sunday. Let's hang out.

NOT...

This is what you do when you roll out in the morning to make turns.

A cold shower will suffice in lieu of ice
