On my last run of the night (not planned) I was following him through some bumps when he went down in front of me. I went right to miss him but his ski released and caught my left ski which brought me down pretty hard. Sliding down the hill the tail of my ski kept digging in and finally I felt it let go. I thought it was my binding but no, the ski was still attached. What I felt I think was my calf muscle tearing. There was a team physician there in the lodge who checked me out and said that he felt the tendons and ligaments were ok and because of the placement of the pain it was a good old calf muscle tear. He said to figure on 3 to 4 weeks of recovery time Guess Ill make a trip to my local doc tomorrow and see what he thinks. Sorry for the long post....I am just kinda bummed
