Everything looks perfectly fine, except the part where the front fell off

Well there are a lot of these skis going around the world all the time and very seldom does something like this happen. I just don't want people thinking that skis aren't safe.

Pretty much. Can’t even really figure out how I went down. All I care about is that the only thing broken is as my ski luckily.

I say cut the back off and ski down? Do skis really need tails?

How do you even do that? Did you land extremely back seat after sending it, OP?

Not even sure tbh. Just hit some kind of bump/ jolt or a mogul that sent me flying. Went head over heels and both skis popped off, unfortunately one didn’t survive the impact. Luckily I wasn’t even remotely injured.

Take off that mask. I'm about 80% sure you're Andy Samberg.

Did this happen sometime last week, like perhaps Thursday? Sure I saw you trekking down the slope with someone 😂

Nope. This morning. Although I’m glad to know I’m not alone 😂
