Frozen mess. The groomed trails were fine but anything ungroomed never softened up. Not much else to say...:sad:

I was also here today, it was not good. At about 3pm I overshot an entire landing in Coos. Knee done. Being taken down in the meat wagon sucks.
What's the damage?
Lots of folks here have blown out their knees. I'm sure many would be more than willing to give advice on rehab.
Sounds like you might have pulled one of the ligament or muscle. Any swelling anywhere?Not sure full extent yet. Lower part of my left leg feels not so much attached anymore. Xrays came back negative, but have to wait 5-10 days to see an Orthopedic Specialist and get an MRI. The results of those tests should be interesting.
If anyone has any advice or recommendations I'd love to hear them.

Sorry to hear about your knee, if you did tear your ACL, it isn't the end of the world, or your skiing. It's been 19 yrs since I've had mine reconstructed, patella graft. It will never be "normal", but it has been good.
Seems like a common theme this season...we could use warmer weather to soften things up but by the time that happens most ski areas will close up shop due to lack of paying customers. :sad:Frozen mess.

Ouch, my knee hurt just watching that. Mine bent sideways, it wasn't ski related, basketball. A buddy of mine put a hoop up on his garage, it was the 4th of July, we were playing 3 on 3, I went up for a rebound, my buddy's brother shoved me in the back, I came down on one leg, that leg bent sideways. He didn't really know any better, non-athlete.Thanks Cornhead. Its comforting knowing that with the advances in technology & modern medicine that knee injuries don't really prevent people from returning to what they love to do: snowboarding, skiing, football, soccer. These days knee injuries are just far too common. You'd think for a joint that supports your whole body it would have been built a little better! Amazing what the human body is capable of nonetheless.
Probably one of the worst injuries I have ever seen. And he still plays!
