[Twins]

Big Tim and I arrived at Baden Powell around 10:30 a.m. to see this.Bluebird day and no sign of the smog monster.

Bid Tim inspecting the brand new bridge that will open in a few weeks.

Just passed the bridge is WaterFall Variation 2 Chute.Our run.

Starting the slog up the hill.We decided to ski this to the road regardless of the snow conditions.

Not really the snow we looking for but it it what it is................

Crap! Just ruined my favorite track pants....Duct tape?

Our first way point......Elephant Ass Tree

At the top Big Tim is taking in a little R&R while this sail plane sneeks up on us.......

Time to get after it.

The trees were really spaced well up here for skiing

Started getting manky in the middle.

The Money Shot.....................

Well,our agreement was to ski to the road today.Now the fun starts.

Last turns for me.

Big Tim finishing it up.

Who tagged this snowbank..........

Another great B.C. day in our local mountains..........

Unfortunatly my ski days might be over as I suffered a head injury which resulted in a brain injury. I was in the hospital for a month and just got out of the Brain rehab center last week.
Hopefully everything will get back close to normal and I will be able to ski the bunny slopes again....LOL

Oh good Lord! :shock: Wishing you the best of recoveries, Tom!

Oh man. I'm also wishing the best recoveries and hope it you get back to the slopes.

 

[snowave]

wow, that sucks, Tom.. but life dishes out some weird things sometimes, and we have to roll with it.

Best wishes for a full recovery, and keep at it!

 

[Tom Moriarty]

Thanks a lot everybody!

It means a lot to have well wishes from this forum. Recovery is going well and my brain is at about 90% full function, Just some dizzy spells which might just be medication issues and some balance issues while walking. I hope everyone had a great season.

Hi Tom,

If you're on this forum chatting, you're doing pretty well after a traumatic brain injury. All the best for a speedy recovery.

And if you get at it again in the future, don't forget your helmet!
