Ligament not torn. At least that is the initial diagnosis from my dr. this morning. ACL surgeries are like a right of passage for skiers, i know that, but i've already had 2 and i sure didnt want the hat trick. Spring may still hold some skiing for me yet. Doc told me not to ski till april 1st though. It sure beats the alternative. It's like christmas for me today.

Thank goodness Pat...you were due for some good news after that day at Mt. Snow. Do what the doctor says and we may hook up for a little late season bump action yet.

Three very good words, indeed. Doesn't look like we'll be hitting the Sundown bumps any more together this season, but it looks like now we'll do Killington in April or May! ;) Congrats.

It's that whole bump-turn thing. Good to hear you made out OK. It's one reason I go straight a lot.

best i can say is weird. Not right but no unbearable pain, for the most part. Orthopedic appointment next wednesday so i'll know for sure. my regular dr, i fear, doesnt know jack about this kind of thing. go get those sundown bumps before they close. I'd love to be able to join you but i think groomers may be the only thing i can handle now.
