Mark McMorris gave his fans an update a week after a life-threatening crash in the backwoods of British Columbia. McMorris posted a pair of photos to Instagram that served as a before-and-after of how he looked before the crash. One photo showed him sitting on a couch with his brother Craig, the other had him laid up in a hospital bed, covered in medical apparatus including a breathing tube. McMorris then thanked his brother Craig and friends for "staying calm, building me a nest, and calling search and rescue." A bronze medallist in slopestyle at the 2014 Olympics, McMorris suffered breaks to his jaw and left arm, a ruptured spleen, a stable pelvic fracture, rib fractures and a collapsed left lung.
