I can sympathize with your shingles. Didn't know much about them except the name until 6 months ago. Still suffering from some of the side effects. May start a separate thread for it...
I personally relate quite well to going off a cliff on skis having just come out of a cast, having jumared ropes in a cast. That was so inspiring, man. I imagine it's hard to get the cast to bind to the ski, or you'd likely have tried it before!
Why are some of us still alive?
Shoulda had our tickets punched years back.

Avoid the John Jacob Shinglehammer clinic in Markleeville--it's a total rip-off.
Mouse, that vid is from last year. It was my attempt to break a leg before I actually broke it climbing ;) Right now I just started walking without crouches. My doc says I wan't be able to ski this season, but I'm determined to go skiing in March.
I will be in Minden from March 23 to March 30. Visitors welcome.
Like I promised, the people that cheered me up during my difficult time are welcome to visit me and stay in my house. I wan't be able to climb yet (maybe a little ;) but I will go skiing to Kirkwood. If you are interested, please send me an email.

My wife managed to capture some of my one-leg skiing with the Go-Pro camera. LOL!
Let us know!
