I didn't hit a tree, just lost it on an icy track between the trees and put my arm down to break my fall. Classic way to dislocate the elbow. There had been no fresh snow for weeks; the doctor who saw me said he'd seen loads of concussions and dislocated elbows because of the hard snow. Apparently when it snows it's all twisted knees instead.
My sis was working for a physio in Whistler at the time and I bartered some network admin for physio. They even built me a special brace so I could get back on the slopes after far less time than was really sensible :)
