We spent a wonderful weekend (in March), celebrating my birthday at the Sugarbush Resort in VT. Family and friends sharing time, food, drink, and winter activities on the mountain... perfect. Perfect that is until the last run. It's always the "last run" when you get hurt! Very icy conditions and a newly roped off trail led to a sudden direction change with no traction. It was then that I met "the birch". My phone took the bullet for me saving ribs on my left side, but the damage to the right was unavoidable. Also rupturing a tendon in my bicept... live and learn. Still a fun weekend for all.
