Skiing

I was skiing, and I was skiing much better than I can in real life. I was hitting jumps, doing tricks, landing them, everybody on the slopes thought I was a pro. After a series of jumps I was in a half pipe of sorts, but it felt like it was out of bounds. I went up the right side of the pipe and did a double back flip (no biggie) then I went up the left side but it was no longer a pipe, it was a mondo jump! Instead of jumping back into the trail I was on I jumped off the mountain. As I was falling off I reached for my backpack to pull my cord, (I was wearing a parachute while skiing, that is how I roll). I pulled the cord and a mini toy parachute popped out and I continued to fall, landing on a frozen lake and breaking through the ice into the freezing cold water. Once in the water I gathered myself and swam to the top gasping for air and pulled myself out. I still had my ski's on at this point! As I came out of the water a doctor was standing there and tells me I have broken both my feet and I cannot ski anymore. Minutes later I find myself back on the mountain, cruising down the fresh powder pointing at people and giving them a thumbs up, hitting jumps and showing off. I come around a corner entering the cat track and on the left side there is a group with shovels building more jumps, at least that what I thought at first. I soon come to realize that they are chipping away the ice, the cat track had become a giant sheet of ice. This is  a problem because there is a very sharp left turn coming up and I cant stop. As I come to the turn I notice two people staring at me, Adrian Jensen and Gary, the Jewish kid from high school. I don't think I have seen, heard or thought of these two since high school . Anyway they are staring at me and I am staring back at them not paying attention to the slippery cat track or the sharp turn ahead. As I turn my attention back to the track I miss the left hand turn and fly off the edge as I yell, "BEST SNOW ON EARTH MY ASS!" ( I swear in my dreams sometimes) then..............................................I woke up.
