Reply to comment by travelers-live in 2 Illinois teens on spring break killed in a sledding accident at Colorado's Copper Mountain | CNN by Lampwickhu

When I was a teenager I went to Stowe or Snow (can't remember, its been like 18 years) to see a winter xgames type event and someone in the big air event popped his bindings off the jump and landed HARD.

Just laid there, no moving. Ambulance came, took him away. Dunno what happened.

I think X Games was at both Stowe and Snow on different years.

Yup to both, but none of the dates for either line up with my memory.

I thought it was the winter x games and Sean White was there but the list on Wikipedia doesn't match up. Maybe it was my friend over-exaggerating or me misremembering the actual event. There was definitely a huge halfpipe and a big air event.

I was like 16-17 (I'm 33 now) so it was like 2006?

I remember we printed mapquest directions and it didn't account for road closures and we got my friend's car stuck in a closed-for-the-winter pass and had to dig / push him out lol.
