dude, i didn't break mine, but i twisted my ankle six weeks ago and it's still messed up. I hit this clump of snow riding switch after i landed a 5 and i just went down... anyone twist their ankle in a ski boot? I wanna know when i can start doin some spinnss again

i would say no. you wont want to be hitting jumps again in june. i broke my ankle involving my growth plate in early march a couple years ago and couldnt ski till the next season. you are going definitely gonna need physical therapy and if i were you id sign up for a later session, but youll have to see what it feels like during therapy

it depends on how badly you broke it, and how dedicated you are to rehabbing it once you are able to. it will be difficult to get your leg strong enough to ski in 3 months. eating really healthy, and taking vitamins, will help speed the healing process, but i geuss i wouldnt get your hopes up on skiing in june.
