Great bruise Snowhot !
I'm talented tree skier too - never been known to miss one if it's anywhere near me
My OH managed to ski right over the top of a small fir tree last week. One ski each side, the tree was small but higher than waist height if you know what i mean! His face was a picture, had me laughing for ages - poor guy :ROTF:

Nice one! Very impressive...I'm sure you were just skiing along and minding your own business when one of those pesky branches beneath the snow grabbed you right? I swear that's what happens to me in the woods

My hubby got knocked around last weekend in the trees. Had a tiny branch 'thwack' him right in the lip - gave him a big bruise and a fat lip - he still can't believe how the little stick did that (they didn't use them for whipping people in the dark ages for nothing). Then I noticed a huge bruise on his upper arm yesterday... forgot to tell me he got stubbed by a branch straight into his arm - didn't cut his shell or anything, but it did cut the skin and cause a huge bruise. I told him to take it easy, please!
My 12yo took me into the woods 2 weekends ago - she wanted to explore when she saw some tracks going into the woods. I followed behind, then fell in the deep snow. Tried using my ski pole to help me up, but that went straight down, and no help. So there I was...on my backside, like a beached whale, with my skiis in the deep snow and flailing around trying to get back up. I had to scootch over until I could finally get over my skis and get up. She will never let me live it down, and now tells everyone about how I fell and couldn't get up...

Softer is nicer!Woo hoo! More battle wounds!!
Yep, I have been kissed by many trees. And I've hugged a few too!
I prefere to be hugged & kissed by something much softer though!
My husband made a comment about the bruise looking like a kiss mark.
I said to him, "A little higher next time honey"

This happened to me recently, except it was my EXPERT snowboarder friend who ditched me in the woods! Deep, deep snow. I tried to prop up, and my arm sank down to the shoulder.
Fortunately I had watched this video:
Powder tips
About midway through, there's instruction on how to make an "X" with your poles to provide a platform to push yourself up. It worked perfectly and I emerged snowy but unscathed.
(And my snowboarder friend was very contrite!)
tis a nice shade of purple now with some green hews on the edges.
Still too much snow in the woods. How about Nubs on Sunday?Geeze, You're supposed to save the tree kissing for bike season!
At least now you've had some practice

What is that saying" since the trees not moving you always know who's at fault." Lol! Zigged when you should have Zagged. Real women wear those colors with pride!!! Atta Girl! Snowhot! Of course most guy's would be whining with an ice pack.
