A very bad day on the slopes

Dh, my dad, my sister and the three big kids skipped school Thursday to hit the slopes.
It started out as a gorgeous sunny day with lots of fresh powder. They made 9 runs before lunch. (Julie and grandpa)

They had a nice lunch then headed to the backside of the mountain. Too much fresh powder resulted in my sister, Maggie, breaking her arm at the growth plate and her wrist. They all thought it was "just a sprain" so instead of calling ski patrol they took the lifts up to the top of the mountain and skied/boarded all the way to the car, gave her an ibuprofen and drove home 2.5 hours. They took her to the hospital that tried to kill Johnny last summer instead of the one I was at!? I was pissed because I could have met them in the ED and gone to surgery with her... No one called me.

She ended up with several pins and a pretty blue cast. Thank goodness high school swim season is over and summer swim doesn't start for 6 weeks! No more snowboarding though :-(
