ya, I've had 6 or 7 concussions, I've been getting memory loss and lots of other stuff.  I went to the doctor, got an MRI and I'm not alowed to ski competively no more.  I'm very sad, I should be able to go out and ski for fun, probably do some jumps just nothing crazy.

I'm very sad though

I've talked to some other people who've had similar things happen to them, they said the doctor is probably over reacting a little that I probably just need to take the year off.  I dunno I'm probably gonna be goign to a specialist

damn.... shitty.
You could always go ski pow as much as possible, but you're in Red Deer, I think, so I don't know how much good snow you could find..
6 concussions though...
That sucks, my parents are making me quit park if I get another concussion, and I've only had one.
If I were you I would stick to backcountry and mountain, avoid the park for a year, and maybe next year you'll be able to keep skiing park.
