Faceplant and rebound

Yesterday I skied the Plan d'Aiguille with my mate Matt. Gorgeous visibility, the light was perfect, snow crispy even though tracked. For some reason I found it necessary to faceplant the entire way down. I definitely counted five plus a few tree shagging incidents for good measure. Boots too tight/loose, wrong skis blah blah crap technique, man I hate skiing. You get the picture.
I'm off to South Africa tomorrow (French ski resort in February are you insane?) for some sun and work. If I could have burnt my skis before leaving I would. Over it, bad mood, child. Then Matt sent me this video clip. Man. Now I'm just going to have to get new skis.
