Yesterday at moonestone, i hit the 55 footer with what i knew was not enough speed. I landed 4 feet short, didt fall, but felt an explosion in my right ankle. I skied on it for the rest of the day but now, it hurts soooo much, like im hopping around because icant put any weight on it. What did i do to my ankle and what should i do to it considering i have t ski for work on saturday

Have it looked at by an athletic trainer. They'll know whats up. But ice and elevation if its swollen.

heat will increase swelling. it's more than likely not broken cuz you wouldn't have been able to ski the rest of the day. ice it like crazy keep off of it as much as possible for a couple of weeks. go to a doctor.
