That's a bummer man, but don't fret... you've got NS to see you through. How many months are you out? Remember, don't be lazy, do your therapy like a champ and you'll be back in no time.

I can sympathize: I just reinjured my Achille's tendon on my first pow run of the year, and might not be able to ski for months on it...

breaking your back is a pretty serious injury, and reoccuring back injuries are comoon.

This wouldn't have happened if the jump was well made, you really should sue the mountain for not only your sake, but the safety of us skiers.


(just kidding)

Good luck on recovery, focus on the long term and make sure you are healed well before you risk it. I hope you get better soon.

yeah man that really sucks, but shit happens...think about this i have a friend that overshot a landing too and he was out also for a season cause he had major injuries and he didn't took care of him self that good didn't do therapy as he needed and came back to skiing a year later and i was just skking with him normally and sudenly he fucks up his hip again...so take your time do whatever you need to do to get really really well and then go back and ENJOY SKIING AGAIN it will give you another perspective thats my advice

that is really wierd. My room mate just fractured a few vertabrea in her back. she is only out for 4-6 weeks so it isn't as bad. Good luck. Dont just sit on the couch. one of the best things for you to do is walk in a pool. your body weight is boiant and it takes the pressure off your spine, yet you are still getting exercise.

How did you break your back? and definitely listen to the doctors on that one, i fractured a vertebra last season but then went back out before the doctors said i could, and now its in real bad shape. don't get anxious and jump the gun.

I broke my back 2 seasons ago, only takes about 2 months to heal but because all the muscles weaken you gotta make sure you train before going back to the park or do stuff like that. I didn't and broke my neck the first day back in the park, less then 2 months after my first crash. You really don't wanna do that!

Dang that sucks. That is a fear of mine of getting hurt early in the season, but I guess we all have that chance. Get well quick and don't forget everything happens for a reason which allows good things to derive from bad.

I don't agree with suing mountain unless there is a good reason. Just b/c you chose the jump doesn't matter. You just haven't said what mountain it is, so you can't count out the chance that they made the jump without taking into consideration physics. I'm not a fan of stupid people suing, but stupid mountains need to change there ways. I don't intend this to continue this thread off topic, but someone is welcome to start a new thread for futher discussion. Stupid designers and employers deserve legal ramifications when they build idiotically and make us assume the risk (i.e., Ford Pinto).

Damn, dude.
I did the same thing last year (breaking back) man, except it was at the very end of my season. But it just made me more stoked to ski.
Just work on the therapy, and you'll get better in no time at all.
