I had a real doozy in the Dolomites last month :-(

I'm not sure how fast I was going, but it was faster than I intended,
and faster than I can really cope with safely :-(

I went over on my front, and left skis and poles strewn 50 yards up
the slope. Bruised ribs was my only injury, and not too badly
bruised.

Last time I did that was about 5 years ago. I can even point to the
spot, right under the Biollay chair in Courchevel.

So can I.

It is just after the left turn (skiers' POV) in the piste coming down
from the far right (skiers' POV - left in the photo) of the ridge.
