After an extended layoff (since 2004) from the sport coming back has been great, plenty of pain but worth every bit of it. That first big fall was coming, sooner or later I was going to find out if I could take a real hit.. Last week in a cross wind I got pushed a little narrow and clipped a ball, the ski skipped out and I took what was apparently a pretty spectacular crash. Luckily I suffered no injury at all and got up to complete the set, just glad that first big crash is out of the way....
