Details:

 The day started off great.I was first on the lift early morning. Great
weather,snow softening as the sun got higher.
Made some speed runs down the groomed runs and into west bowl.
 I decided to make a run down the backside thru the park and hit some jumps.
 First couple jumps went well and even stuck the landings.
Hit the last table top before the lift and got much more air than wanted.
I staightened my legs and hit very hard.A pop and extreme pain followed.
Ski patrol,doctor.
I've have a completely torn ACL and surgery is planned for the near future.
Please enjoy whats left of the season and be careful! Se y'all next season. 
Steve
