k so i don't know how to control the order  so they are out of how they should be.  kind of a weird experience and a really long post to result.  just know that all is well and i am go back for 100% recovery and i will soon be throwing my self of cliffs, doing barrel rolls, throwing it down in b-ball, and playing soccer--all the stuff i love so much about the life.  before we get really started just want to shout out a thanks to all the people that helped. my buddies dan j, dan s, david paul, steve carroll, hunter (dan s's little b.--a trooper). the patrollers, dr. donald (i think his name was) childs. and especially my fam. they are truly the best. there are some more picts but i need to crop them to make them available to the audience. if you don't like weird stuff like cuts and such you may just want to not read this one or at-least skip the picts. good luck. have fun and enjoy your day. rock rock on.

so this is my story as i am sure there has been much speculation as to what exactly happened to my leg. it is not all that great but kind of interesting. so last saturday i was heading off the tram going toward wilber and turned of above wilber and about 50 yrds from the top we dropped a little cliff. dan went off and was fine and this is some thing that i do all the time so i guess for this I was not trying to really protect my self and scope out the landing and all that. so after i went off i turned up hill to slow me down and right as i did that i ran into a rock with my leg and fell pretty hard. got pretty shook up and checked if my feamer was broken and it wasent but then i felt a lot of blood going down my leg. dan came over to check if i was alright and i told him i was ok but i was going to slide down the rest of the mountain on my bum because my leg was really hurting. so i got about half the way down on my bum till that started to hurt to much and not make all that much progress so i flipped around and swam freestyle head first the rest of the way down till i got to the piste (groomed area). there i strapped on my skis and rode on one ski to the lodge got there and hobbled to the bathroom with the help of dan and all the stall were used so i waited 30 seconds and had to cut in front of two nice gentalmen and opend up my pants and saw the big hole in my leg and stepped right out and told dan that we had to go and call ski patrol to get me off the rest of the way. so i laid out near the coffee shop and then waited for a few minutes. the nice lady offered me some hot coco but i kind of was not really in the zone for it so i just laid on the floor with my leg up on the stairs.  so the ski patrol got there and put me on a back board and then carried me out and placed me into the tobagan and took that the rest of the way down.  

i played around in the clinic down there but after a few looks from some of the personel and alot of oows and wows they said i best go down to alta view and get it fixed up down there because they didnt have the skillity to fix it at the clinic. which i am super graterful for that. if they went ahead and just did it i think i would have gone thorgouh a lot more pain. so when ever they took off the bandage it started to bleed a lot so they wrapped it up but soaking up what blood they could and trying to put as much pressure on it as possible and that, was by far the most painful thing that happed the whole expeirance. so they eventually got it wrapped up and ready for transportation.  and rolled me out to dans car and i got to ride in the front seat. wohoo!  we went down the canyon and it was super snowy with alot of cars on the side of the road. it took us about 40 min i think (i was kind lost track of time for the whole expirence) and went striaght to the alta view hospital where my father was waiting and helped me out from there. we said good by and thnaks to all of my friends and went into the waiting room for five miniutes. they placed me right next to the fish and i came to the realization that dispite all of the pain i was in i would so much rather be me than be one of those fish. dont get me wrong i would love to be a fish. i think it would be way cool being able to swim and do all they do but the life i lead is so much better i think and i love living it. so the first nurse that checked me in got my symptoms in general and i mean really general she asked me my name, i told her adam and then she wrote down what was wrong with me and she put "leg, hurt". i thought that was pretty funny but i guess they know what they are doing. so they sent me in and sat me down and then they got to work on me. first the did what they called irragate the wound, basically they washed out all of the bad stuff by squirting in a saline solution and get it super clean. they were all pretty excieted to see what it all looked like alive and healthy as opposed to a cadaver and formaldehydie. after that they sent in another one who shot my leg up with a bunch of litakin (sp?).  then the docotr came in and assesed it with another doctor as to the plan of attack to fix it all up. so then he went to work and was there for a couple of hours stiching me up and he did a few layers. and after they wraped me all up, took out the iv,  and put dan's nascar pants on (thanks dan, loved the pattern) and they sent me on my way. 

the crash went down a bit after noon i think and i was out of the hospital and on my way home at five to six.  we stopped at smiths to get some antibiotics and that took a while and i was super hungry so i dug into the big chicken that i packed for lunch all barbarian style because i was forkless. (we wernt in my volvo where i keep a pair of plastic utensils) but i did not spill a grian of rice and kept it super clean and even better my dad brought out some fritos which were just the right thing to top it off. eventually we got home and just chilled around there. then went to bed and that is the end of my story. sorry for the order of the pictures.

so all of this is supposed to go in backwards order so you might want to read from the bottom up.  i dont know why the letters are all bule and underlined but some day i shall be a mighty blogger.so tons of the next fotos are from a little foto shoot mel and i, we had thanks giving night. that was awesome.









so this one looks like mel is going to be shot. awesome special effects.
good old friend 2xl

k well this blogging thing is harder than it looks but i hope to become a more regular poster than just once a month. so hopefully i can get better at it. well it is finals week here at byu and today and tomorrow are reading days so we all know what that really means. skiing days!! the best way to get rid of the stress before the finals. hopefully my grades turn out ok the nmr stuff in ochem is looking pretty intense but i think i will learn it before thrus. well since the last post we have had some thanks giving fun and that was probably the best weekend of my life. couple of turkey bowls and playing with some freinds from the home town. also i was able to go skiing which is always so much fun. and the best part was thanksgiving itself with the family. many of the picts to follow are those we took thanks giving night. mel and i, we were board and did not want to go to bed so we had a little foto shoot and the results were actually pretty pretty. there is other good stuff in there. as the captions will hopefully denote.

fun from the last year

due to the lack of knowledge on how to blog and all this i lost a lot of my writing but in summary this post contains many picts from the facebook so a lot of you may have seen them. also they are really scattered in the order so sorry about that but this is my attempt to catch up from the last year of not blogging at all. so grab some pops and sit down and enjoy the stroll down memory lane for the last year (for the most part). awesome have fun.



k this is some of when we went to zions and did weeping rock and angles landing and a whole bunch of other stuff.

on top of angles landing.
on the way up to kings peak. i had to move so down so the camera could get kings in the backgrond (or what we thought was kings) (its not that i was tried or anything...right)
k this wasent last year but its a pretty chill foto
this is the trolls wateringhole we ran into on the way back from kings. you can ask patrick montandon about the troll story, its a good one.

i really like halloween and some times i wish is was the headless horseman.
so last week i broke my thumb and this is what she looked like from the out side. it is just really annoying. typing right now is a pain with the splint and contrary to what the "popular park ski kid" belief is it is not easier to ski / spin / whatever on the sticks with out poles. i did a whole day with out them, it just looks weird, feels squirrelly in the air, and is not stable shredding down the steeps. skiers should use poles. end of story
