The Pow Ow
The Pow Ow
“Wanna see my gash?
On the first day of a freestyle course in Avoriaz I learned how not to land in pow… The nose of my board dug in and all my weight flipped on to my arm, resulting in a dislocated elbow and torn artery. The doctors initially thought I’d cut my arm on my snowboard but I had to keep telling them that my jacket wasn’t cut – it was the force of the landing that tore open my inner elbow. I reckon that if I was going faster and was totally committed I would have nailed it! I’ve learnt for next time… Don’t tell the boss but I’m finally getting back on my board this season with a holiday booked for January. Bring it!!”

Glad to hear this injury hasn’t put you off snowboarding Erica. It has, however, put us off our lunch.
