Well, it was inevitable. Anyone who snowboards 100+ days a year and spends all her time in the terrain park riding rails and boxes, doing jumps and tricks, is bound to get hurt eventually. Although my daughter was thrilled to be teamed with professional snowboarder Erin Comstock yesterday in the Queen's Cup in Park City, she "cased it" (hit the jump wrong) on the first jump because "the setup was gay" (too short between the jumps) and blew out her knee. She tore her ACL, needs surgery and is out for 6-9 months.

We laid low after that and hung out in a hotel room last night with a few of the other athletes and another mom, watching "Dan in Real Life" and eating pizza for dinner while my daughter iced her knee and moped.
