Gutted

Sad within the first 10 min of strapping into the bindings on my first day I fell badly and onto my wrist. I just rested it yesterday and hoped it would be better today, but ended up at the medical centre for and x-ray and now in a cast Sad broken wrist in the first proper 10 mins of the holiday. one weeks lift pass and board hire for nothing!! Conditions couldn't get much better either, fresh snow on the ground and I can't put it to use.

AHHHH man - that's a killer. Really sorry to hear that. Did you not have wrist guards?

Get yerself down to Bobby's Bar and have some consolation juice...

No wrist guards. Got some after the fall but they are no use to me now! Razz
Bobby's is a bit far for me sadly, I am in pamporovo! Wink
Having a beer now and going to try and forget about it - at least it's not my drinking arm Booze

re: Gutted

Bad luck. My son broke his wrist snowboarding in Pamps a few years ago, right up at the top. He boarded down to mid-station where we went to the medical centre. They dried the X-rays by wafting them before a single bar electric fire perched on the patient's couch!

If you have travel insurance you can claim for your unused board hire and lift pass.

Even if you use it to go up to Studenets for lunch or something, you can still claim for 5 days.

re: Gutted

Sorry - didn't realise you are in Pamps. Suggestion still stands though - you've unfortunately got the time to get down to Boro and back :-(

Really, really feel for you buddy - what a bummer.

You seem to have a great attitude about it so well done you! A one in a million accident so don't be put off and just enjoy having a beer.

re: Gutted

Cheers Pete!
There is no point in me having the arse about it, nothing I could have done really. The doc said I was very lucky in one sense as its all so clean and nothing has moved. I will just have to get the lift up and enjoy the view from one of the many bars Wink Caroline (my other half) is going to continue on the slopes as I don't want to balls up two holidays!! So I will just meet up with her at the mid station each day I reckon.
Cool
