Usually something like a broken binding. Or body part. I seem to be running out of useable body parts!

Half hour into a tour today with my gf at the nordic center, realized my car keys were no longer with me. Backtracked in a panic and found them hanging out of the door handle. Called it divine intervention and went home

Your jokes are falling flat today. ;) I woulda went with "jock itch"


The things that have sent me home early are wind, bad conditions, and poor visibility, especially when you have all three at the same time.

The last few seasons it's been foot pain, but I think that's behind me now. I got a boot fitting from Turnfarmer and haven't had a pain since after about 15 ski days.

Al funny you should say "wind, bad conditions, and poor visibility" would send you home. Two days ago I arrived back from northern Finland without completing my second tour of the season- reason being wind, bad conditions, and poor visibility. I was about to ski over Halti (The Finnish national bump) but very high winds and blowing snow ensued- the forecast for yesterday was worse- constant wind at 19 m/s *42 mph) gusting to 22 m's (54 mph) and more snow and a highly elevated avalanche warning. I descended from the wilderness cabin to Kilpisjarvi. This coupled with the fact that I already knew I could not ski the planned Norwegian leg (up the Reisa river and then on to the Sami town of Kautokeino). The Reisa river opened very early this year- the second time I have been prevented from skiing it! So I came home and had a beer. PS You don't get jock itch with M-wool underwear!
