@jjackkrash,
Side note: On that infamous day, I was one month post-surgery for a gum tissue graft over an existing dental implant (unrelated to skiing). As I took inventory of the various impact points on my face, I wondered if I had undone any of that work or created new, expensive issues. Furthermore, the cost of this sport is occasionally discussed at home and any additional skiing-related monetary outflow might have been frowned upon. All was well, except for my swollen nose and a few abrasions. I called my wife on the way home just to prepare her for my new just-been-in-a-bar-fight appearance and assured her everything was minor and that I did not think I had a concussion.
When I got home, she perused my face with an eye-rolling look of exasperation, shook her head slowly, and with disdain simply said, "Dumbass". We both laughed quite hard.
