It was knee injury? If so, is there a brace you can wear for support and protection?

My orthopedist felt I didn't need a knee brace since I didn't have instability. Heck, it took them over a month after the incident to figure out that I didn't sprain my knee, I partially tore the ACL. :blink: I did PT... and skied on it a few times at the end of the season, but was pretty defensive because of that fear of re-injury. Can't be doing that!

You might want to consider a store bought elastic brace unless you already have one, just for a little extra support. You can't be too careful, it it might lessen your apprehension a little. I occasionally ski with one of those back braces you see the Home Depot guys wearing when my back acts up. It helps. Either way, ease back in at your own pace.

If you've already been out on the hill since the incident, you should be OK . . . it is usually the first few times out that the nerves set in . . . good luck

Got home and wondered why, if there is such a thing as the Golf channel, that there is no such thing as the Skiing channel?

Ask and I shall receive . . .

This seems like a good thread to revive. I'm feeling incredibly excited with the recent snowfall. I'm up over 8 probably. Every day when I leave my house to go to work I look at my skis in the garage and I can almost smell the mountain air.

 

[skiNEwhere]

To alpine ski, 7 or 8, because their is nothing too challenging open at the beginning of the season. 10 for tele ski, because I'm not as good at it but I have so much fun with it

With Killington making snow can we bump the Ski forum back up to it's rightful place at the top!?

I think it belongs at the top to.... I'm conflicted between wanting it there and following the time honored tradition of frost in my backyard.
