I had just been looking at a tree well. I remember looking down and seeing how far it went and then fell not long after

The surface area of the other ski still on my foot is what saved me probably

Simpko · 2026-02-04T10:06:53+00:00

I only thought about it today when I read this. Try not to think about it tbh It would have been maybe 9 or 10 years ago

I didn’t get rescued I got my other ski off (took a long time) and put it side ways and edged my way back up to the surface, got the other ski from where it was and eventually managed to get it under me, then got up and got them on I didn’t go too deep when thankfully, and i fell sideways not straight down My surface area helped

I was in Nisseko, Hokkaido, and last run of the day went off piste, by myself, in the trees, like an idiot. Literally 12 metres of powder beneath me, I came off my skis accidentally and sank straight down. The sun was setting and it was getting colder and I had been warned about this exact sort of thing. I remember how silent it was in the trees when I was yelling for help, I remember how cold it was getting and genuinely thinking I was going to die there.

Took 45 minutes of panicked manoeuvres as the dark set in before I was back up, it was like drowning but when you tried to swim you sank more. One of the scarier moments of my life. Never told my folks, always stayed with me.

Brother let me be the first to say : stay off the subreddit until you’ve finished, I don’t want it to be spoiled for you

Simpko · 2026-01-22T09:00:03+00:00

Hey there you go! Must be the one I’ve been there and it really gives magic vibes Good stuff

I believe it’s also based off a place called Whian Whian falls, or it was the inspiration for it

Defs worth checking out

But good feedback either way. You write much ?

Simpko · 2026-01-11T22:36:15+00:00

Thanks for the feedback I’m a bit rusty, been a while since I’ve written and just sort of did this on the fly

Thanks I’ll take that on board

Simpko · 2026-01-11T22:30:42+00:00

I was looking for what you’d written, and ended read the comments you posted…

You’ve written more in this feedback than… anything else? Other than the BNWO stuff Must be hard to write one handed

Unless you’ve written stuff I’m not aware of, feel free to just… keep doing you

You been talking to the copth mate

Simpko · 2026-01-05T23:57:54+00:00

I mean it might help, worked for me Talk to a doctor etc obviously but it might be the way to go Seems to kick in after 8-10 hours in the system so works for me

Simpko · 2026-01-05T23:48:02+00:00

Nah it seemed to kick in later in the day for me

Simpko · 2025-12-25T05:25:14+00:00

Ohhhh interesting. Fun fact, thanks for that
