Luke Edgar has never been accused of having a stick up his ass…at least not until now.
I headed to The Canyons resort located near Park City, Utah for Rossignol’s Project C event, which is a celebration of 100 years in the snow sports industry and in honor of their new Mountain Center offices in Park City. Luke Edgar was recently named hardgoods division VP of Rossignol/Quiksilver and has set out to step up the snowboard brand to a new level.
If you’re lucky enough to know Luke, you would know what a great person he is and how unreal his energy level is. Since my arrival he had been talking about a hike out from 99-90 chairlift to Square Top where he swore the snow was excellent despite the fact that spring is in full effect and there is far more brown than white on the hill at this point.
We set off on this mission today but along the way the patchwork snow surface combined with an attempted super-slasher sent Luke off the run and down into a gully where he was unfortunately impaled by a tree branch. And yes…it got him in the ass. Everyone will be happy to know that Luke will be fine after a trip to the hospital to have the stick removed. I was amazed at how he was able to laugh it off and make jokes. I would have been crying like a baby. He swore he would be back for the closing festivities on Friday night and we proceeded with the hike in his honor. It turns out the snow was surprisingly very good.
Luke was the mastermind behind the Project C event. Look for a post right here at futuresnowboarding.com with all of details on the event in the next couple of days.
Luke’s initial surgery had apparently gone well when it was discovered that there was another section of stick still inside his leg. I’m not sure why an x-ray didn’t determine this in the first place but a second surgery was required to remove the remaining piece. Luke unfortunatly missed the Project C closing day party and was greatly missed by everyone in attendance. He is still expected to make a complete recovery, it’s just taking longer than expected. We are all wishing you the best Luke, get well soon.
