yard sale
yard sale
An instance in which a skier or snowboarder falls in the snow, causing their skis, board, or other equipment to scatter all around them. Some jerk was really showboating as he went flying down the slopes, so it gave me no shortage of glee to see him catch an edge on a mogul and crash in an epic yard sale. I had to help David pick up all his gear from the yard sale he was holding near the chairlift.
