Spring Break
Kate and I spent spring break (last week) with the U of M Wilderness Medicine Society out in Winter Park, CO. It was a blast! We took the scenic route on the way out and visited Mount Rushmore. I was really impressed by the park and would like to go back during the summer. At Winter Park, I skied four days covering a total of 77,000 vertical descending feet. We skied some amazing trees, steeps, and moguls. It was a riot. I also recorded some amazing GPS data (which will be the subject of my next post). We also had two lectures from one of the docs at the two mile clinic (the clinic at the base of Winter Park). He spoke on high altitude sickness and trauma (we learned how to reduce fractures and dislocations). There were some really nasty pictures of broken femurs and spiral tib-fibs. We had a safe trip home and I am still pretty sore. All in all it was an amazing trip!!!
