Thought I'd let you know why I haven't been on here much recently. My brewing activities have been somewhat curtailed, and will probably stay that way for a month or two. I guess the two lagers in my brew fridge are going to get an "extended" lager lol.

Was skiing in NZ. The snow over there is absolute shite this year, 20-30cm while I was there (at the same time there was around 130cm at most Aussie resorts).
Anyway, we traveled around to several different fields, and on our last day were skiing at a tiny club resort (Broken River) that had the worst snow we'd seen. They basically only opened the resort because there were two groups of Aussies staying there (we were a group of 13, and there was another group of 4), though the resort was officially closed.
Anyway, the one rope tow that was open took you up onto the top of the ridge, where there was a bit of frosty powder which mostly covered up the rocks, so you could get in a few good turns. However, the bottom half of the run was a valley that was really tussocky (big clumps of grass stuff). A friend of mine was down below near the bottom of the lift and I thought it'd be a good idea to do a big jump. It was NOT a good idea... as I was coming up to do the jump, I lost a ski in one of the tussocks, and because I was going so fast and it was so tussocky, I had no chance of regaining control, so I face planted, and hit my shoulder on something (probably another tussock) and shattered my collar bone into four pieces.
Not my favourite day on the fields, though it's not as bad as the day I broke my leg skiing.
yeah best wishes, i did my hand on an unintended jump. it was either do the jump or wipe out 20 of the ski school at high speed on a blind corner of a creek where IMO i don't think they should have been. i actually landed the jump which was by far my biggest to date but s#&t myself in the process and locked up on landing thus entering into a snow gymnastics routine busting my hand in the process. Great entertainment though for the 20 five year olds. they pissed themselves laughing.
when talking to a fool, make sure they aren't doing the same
