youre in a cast.  I played soccer with a broken radius(with a cast) and then after that I worse a splint.  After you get your cast taken off, just use the splint the doctor gives you.  A broken radius isn't that big of a deal.  The probability of breaking it again is nowhere near than if you had torn youre acl or something, at least with skiing.

when I broke my radius and ulna I didn't ski hard for probably 2 months, but I had surgery so it's a little different of a scenario.

I broke my radius and ulna. Not too big of a deal. Depending how bad it is like 4-8 weeks. I had a cast on for about 6 weeks and after they took the cast off I was good to play baseball after like a week.
