Willingly pass on a day sur les pistes to go x-country skiing, because it will give your shoulder (which you wrenched falling 4 weeks ago, and again last weekend and still hasn’t gotten better) a rest. 

Crash on the first little hill you come to.  Protect your shoulder by not putting your hand down, but use your head instead and leave a good size salad bowl indentation in the snow.  Not as well thought through as you’d like.

More advil.

New aches next morning, 8 inches of fresh, decide not to take extra advil in favour of watching the Penguins and reading a book.

Hmmmmm.
