“I’ve been on a kick to skin up the local ski hill once per week and today was “groomer dawn patrol before work” day. It was bitter cold and I wanted to crawl back under the covers but instead climbed the 1800ft 15 minutes faster than last week’s time.

Then, about five turns down untracked groomer, I took an awkward low-speed fall. My ski binding tried to release but my boot jammed in it. Standing up, my ankle felt funny. I flagged down a ‘troller and got a toboggan ride down to the clinic.

“Maybe it’s just a sprain,” I hoped. But I was looking over the radiologist shoulder when the x-rays loaded on the screen and I could see the fractures. Tomorrow I’ll find out if I need screws.” – #HighFivesAthlete Jim Harris
