GIVING AWAY A FREE SNOWBOARD TO THE GUY WHO STOPPED. HELP ME FIND JOSH!

I managed to hit a tree while snowboarding in Park City, Utah 2/6/2020. It was the first run of the day and I optimistically decided to take out my powder board for a reported 2″ storm. Turns out the conditions were very unforgiving.

I was jamming through the trees filming with GoPro’s new 360 camera, the GoPro MAX when I got bucked and hit a tree going too fast. At least I was filming.

After my self-assessment I was fairly certain my Tibia was intact, but I suspected my Fibula and knee may have been compromised. I made the poor decision to self evacuate rather than call ski patrol. This definitely did not help my injury in any way and was a bullheaded move on my part. Next time I would get a ride down…

Also, a kid named Josh stopped to help. He even offered to carry me at one point. I would like to track him down and give him a snowboard for doing the right thing and taking time from his day to lend a helping hand to someone in need!
