Relatively Injury Free

Only a couple injuries this season, one of which is shown here, the other wasn't really visible.  Early season I went full speed with air into a scree field, with 1cm of snow on top of it.  Skis stopped instantly, and the ragdolling began.  I did about 3 or so, and ended up with either some intercostal bruising, or a cracked rib maybe.  The bloody finger was from trying to wiggle through a narrow chute with some saplings at the mouth that ended up being narrower than I was.  I sort of punched one with my hand, broke it in half, but got this weird blood blister.  I think I popped a bursa maybe.  My glove was full of blood, so I decided to end the ski day early.  What a wuss, eh?  Fortunately, the swelling is down by about 50% so that's good... three months later.
Looking forward to finishing out the season without any real injuries, since the two above don't really count.
