Swift healing Rikka
Not Sure
Well-known member
Hope you heal up fast................" around 3PM" A short while back someone mentioned most accidents happen after 2:30 when youre tired .Not sure if that played a part or just the Flat light.
Last Saturday after 2:00 I started feeling a little tired and a ski straying on occasion so bagged it .
So much good advice on this Forum

Ya know the same thought occurred to me about 2:00 and I took one more run and my legs were screaming at me to stop. So I stretched, rested and took my last run and wasn't sure I'd make it cause I was cramping up at that point. I was done by 2:45. I fell several times during the day, one was a double e. Coulda been hurt my self but I was fortunate.
Heal well Rikka where ever you are.

Well this weekends skiing was cut short. While skiing a glade at Ragged my wife got bitten by a snow shark. While I stuck to tracked areas she decided to go for an untracked area and skied under a branch hidden under the powder. She ejected and went to break her fall and her thumb on a tree and broke it. She was told not to ski until she has visited an ortho. Damn right before AZ Summit. She will skin there but will have to be more careful.
Damn. Broken thumbs suck. Painful

Thanks.
She is in pain and medicated - she will be back out there quickly. That is the way she rolls.

So your wife now has skiers thumb. No big deal. She'll be able to ski at the summit. Broke mine about 10 years ago. Next weekend I was out skiing again. What I did was put a wool sock over the cast, then a plastic bag over that with rubber bands wrapped around the wrist to hold the plastic bag on, worked out really well. Was even able to hold a ski pole. The only issue I had was I needed someone else to zip up my parka. I'm sure you could handle that for her. Kinda hard to zip up with one hand. Did this for several outings. She sounds like a trooper. I wouldn't worry about her being able to ski next weekend. Have a great time.

As someone who had to have a thumb rebuilt last year get more than one opinion. One ortho said it was broken but I went to a second because I had broken fingers before and this was different, come to find out it was broken in multiple spots and I had torn both major ligaments in my thumb. The difference in that surgery versus a cast was severely limited mobility and very early arthritis versus a new thumb. Crazy but given how my other thumb feels I wouldn't mind blowing it out and having it rebuilt if it meant less pain and less arthritis in the future.
