The day of bad luck!
Doh! Would Homer Simpson say several times today if the was in my shoes. It all started at 07:15 when my mobile woke me up and I felt more dead than alive. I knew that the big dump of snow last nights could give us superb skiing conditions, so I said to may self that it will be worth it to get up the first lift to the top of the Galzig and enjoy the unlatched pistes.
At the ski bus in to town I realised that I had forgot my goggles (doh!) but I thought that’s not a problem. I had been boarding without them the day before because they were totally filled with mist and snow. The first run went pretty good for the first 1000 height meters. Then I came down to an easier part of the piste where you just can relax and play around. This morning this last part was perfectly prepared and I and another guy was the first to go down there. We totally maxed our boards. Suddenly in a left turn, my toe side, the side I had all my weight on (I’m goofy), just lost the grip in a zone with ice blocks. I bounced down in 50 km/h or so on my right foot backwards down the piste. The steel edge cut for like 15 – 20 times and my right foot was badly loaded. At last I stopped and I couldn’t feel my right foot because of the pain. Doh! After a while a ski instructor came up to me and asked how I was doing. I said that I was ok, because I thought it just was a sprain. My second thought was that it could be really expensive to let the ski patrol take me down to the village. I decided to go down my self. It worked pretty well because of all the adrenaline. But when I got down to the village I couldn’t stand on the foot so I sat down on my board and headed for the pharmacy to get a bandage. A woman at the pharmacy told me that I should go to the doctor so I got a cab 200m for €7 to the doctor. The doctor examined and x-rayed my foot but he recommended me to get to another doctor so they could make a magnetic radio x-ray to see the soft stuff in the foot. So I went up the hill for another €7. There they put me on a hard table and I had to lie completely still for 30 min. It wasn’t too cosy with all the pain. After that I took a cab back to the first doctor for another €7. He put my foot in plaster and said that I could come back tomorrow morning to see what the expert in Innsbruck said about the x-rays. When I got out from the doctor I realised that someone stole my snowboard. Doh! The sum of expenses for today is €11.021 and a stolen snowboard worth another €450. Doh! This must be the most unlucky day in my life!
