Things to do while falling down a mountain

1. After landing crazily on your back, punch the offending hillside and yell "Bad Mountain" at the top of your lungs
2. While in mid-air (after having both ski bindings let go) scream "Yard Sale!". Fall heavily.
3. Expertly handle the powder-laden moguls. Once clear of the bumpies at the bottom of the run, fall unexpectedly on the straight leading to the lift.
4. Mis-handle the transition from beautiful corduroy to 12" of powder. Make sure your neck hits the ground before the rest of your body.
5. Enjoy 20" of fresh powder in 3 days time, relish the company of your wife and brother-in-law, and marvel at the retiree who's skied 75 days this year.

Yes, I either observed or experienced all of the above over the last 4 days.
