Hey last sunday I was in the park and they had a flat box then a gap into a down which was pretty steep and i tried a switch up onto the down box the box was pretty thin and i got my skis caught up like i always do and slammed my shoulder right into the box. I thought i just bruised it but then that wednesday i played in a hockey game and i knew it was hurt. the doctor said i had a minor fracture in my left collar bone and i can not play contact sports for 3 weeks. i forgot to ask him when i could ski. i feel n o pain in it and it just looks like it is swelling a bit. it was just one little crack on th x ray. i dont wana be an idiot and fuck it up more but my appointment for him to give me the ok is march 4th. i have a comp the 1st. do u guys think il be ok to ski then? and should i take it easy for the rest of the season? i hope not

Last season i snapped mine in half and displaced it 3 inches out, it took 3 month to fully heal and it still hurts but in your case i would take it super easy for the 3 weeks and see how it goes from there. But make sure you dont fall

ok thanks, but when you say take it super easy do you mean skiing or just in general, and if i do ski i wont even get near the park but is going to be sooo hard o well.

I'd vote do nothing to get yourself hurt, take it so easy your bored 100% of the time.
Then go see the Doc the day before and see what he says.
(Sry would have asked my rents but they just went to beddy)

3 weeks is nothing. don't ski till it feels good. theres a lot of the season left. actually itll prob feel pretty good in 2 weeks i bet.

I broke my clean last year and was riding exactly 28 days later. Collar bones are quick to heal, and yours sounds like nothing.

i skied 2 weeks after i snapped mine... broke it again, then i skied 3 weeks after that... fractured it again, then i waited a long time cuase the season ended and i skied in the summer and fractured it again becuase i missed the landing of a table
it hurt but it wasnt really that bad. you only fractured it so youll be fine in 2 or 3 weeks

I broke mine in 2 places and had to have surgery on it so i wouldn't forever kill my shoulder. I'm out for at least three months, with one month down. but for just a crack you're good to go in a couple weeks, whenever he said contact sports, conceivably, skiing is a contact sport, your contact is just with ice and boxes and shit. So you should be good ina couple weeks, shit hurts though, I could feel mine moving inside my shoulder which was seriously whacked out.
