One came hurtling into my sister-in-law who thereafter needed a new hip as he had cracked the old one. Didn't come back, and not a word of apology. It's still not right after almost 2 years. Let's hope as you survived you French skier, you can survive this.


Yep, same here. The skier who crashed into me looked at me lying there and without a word got up and skied off. Very strange behaviour. :?

I have to resist automatically disliking folk who take the right turning of the path en route to SEM, having missed it when I did this, and thus having to ascend Binnean Mor twice :( .



That turn is easily missed.... I'm probably just being slow but how did it mean you had to go up Binnein Mor twice? 8)

I remember trying to work out whether the end of the summit ridge on BM was higher and those snow patches on descending. Hope your shoulder recovers soon.


It's funny how after going all that way the thought of having to go a little bit further than you expected is so annoying! :wtf:

Only just seen this. Hope your ribs and shoulder have healed okay. As you say it could have been so much worse. :?

Don't have full shoulder rotation and there are some things it still doesn't like. Just need to be more patient! :roll:
