Mail for help.Help!!

Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Ingrid Backstrom is a bit of a hero in our household - one of the group of women (Lynsey Dyer, Izzy Lynch, etc) who really pushed out the boundaries...well done her.

But this......well, could have been worse.....

Blimey. Now that's a proper bruise.

The accident itself seems entirely tame. But the result is ... impressive. I had one half that size, and it certainly made my eyes water...

Ingrid is awesome.

I did meet Lynsey Dyer briefly once. She is tiny ( but also awesome)

@valais2 I, too, had one half that size.
Mine was caused by ~9 hrs lying on an operating table. Nearly 100 stitches in my neck & face and doped up on morphine, yet still the only thing I was complaining about was the bruise on my backside!

She skis a really graceful line. Makes it art.
That bruise though. Goes to show what lurks under those so called "pillows".

That bruise reminded me of one I got cycling. Was wearing baggies over lycra, lost my front wheel, went down hard on my side, hip, shoulder , head. Crushed my helmet, glasses snapped and cut my forehead but the most spectacular part was the bruise on my hip/thigh/backside. Had a bunch of keys in my pocket - not a mistake I've made twice - obviously burst some blood vessel in the muscle because over the next few hours I basically grew another buttock the same colour as Ingrid's. Took a few weeks for it to drain all the way down my leg - the whole leg went purple and my knee got stiff and swollen with the fluids getting past it.
Not recommended.

After ops on my elbows, my entire arms were that colour, from a neat line around my upper arm where i assume there was a tourniquet or something, down to my lower forearm. Left one was still sort of camouflage, with patchy purple and green a month later. Madeye-Smiley

Many years ago after a bad fall my wife had a bruise that size in a similar area from a skiing fall. It took 6 months to vanish and every week was a different shape or colour. Twas a thing to behold; we almost gave it a name !

She wasn't skiing that type of terrain I hasten to add

@thecramps, yikes...and @dsoutar, ... yes I recall absolutely the @jedster description of the changing colours - black, blue, brown, green, yellow - quite fascinating if you are not in excruciating pain....

I think it was Shane McKonkey who said IB was like a guy with a pony tail. Presumably he meant she a great skier, who also happens to be female.

Had to look up Shane McKonkey. There's a wikipedia page for deaths of noted skiers Shocked .

I came off a motor bike in my youth and the bruising, whilst impressive, was similar.
