Last month, I was spending time with my family in Telluride when one of the biggest snowstorms of the last 25 years descended on Colorado’s Rocky Mountains. We had no choice but to hunker down and wait for it to pass. When the storm had finally subsided, it left behind an incredible blanket of snow, and I was excited about hitting the slopes to take on one of my favorite runs. Sadly, my excitement was short-lived. An out-of-control snowboarder blindsided me, leaving me with three broken ribs, a punctured lung and one painful ride to the emergency room.
