Just a few I've stuck up so far.
No riding ones as I couldn't be bothered taking the camera with me, so just made use of the mobile when I could be bothered.

First day injury. Using my shoulder as a brake coming down the fireroad was not the best thing to try 


Mutzig (it's a Morzine thing) (and it helped greatly to numb the pain of the above )


View from Hotel La Chaumine near La Grave


Near Alp D'Heuz at the bottom of the cable car that you take to get upto qualifying

It wasn't that bad, until I tried putting the armour on 

Still rode the Passportes the following day

I always thought you were supposed to put armour on to prevent injury

My wife did a similar thing....thought she didn't need knee pads for a xc ride;    fell off and badly grazed both knees

I wonder if we should start a proper 'show us your injuries' thread a la MBR ?

mutzig.........that stuff's crazy. think its a kinda alps-wide drink. we have skied about 16 times in meribal over the years and my bro and i have done a season each. 6 pints will destroy you!! no wonder the shoulder felt better so quick!!

[rosslamb]

oh and i'd watch that scar too!! I fell off my bike on a regular road, well was knocked off my my brother of all people. The resulting healing process left me with a scar called a keloid which we call nubbin as its like a third nipple but feels grisly! keep an eye on it mc

Mutzig is great 

Shoulder is healing fine.
Skin's pealing a bit where the worst of the injury was, but the rest is fine, albeit a bit reddish and slightly rough.

Wish I could say the same about where I stuck the pedal in my calf while attempting to ride the snow on Pic Blanc!
