Obviously everyone risks injury when skiing, but I mean who here has gone back to skiing way earlier than they should have. Like, if they broke a bone and the doc said "you can ski in 8 weeks" who went after 4?

And if you did.. how it work out for you?

2 years ago i separated my shoulder one weekend. I don't remember how long the doc told me to wait but i went skiing the next weekend. worked fine until i broke my collarbone. It was unrelated, as it was the opposite shoulder.

broke my fibula (smaller leg bone) and the doc said i really shouldn't ski until around february.... I've been at it since november.  I hit a rail and ate shit and tweeked my leg.... but it was fine 10 min later....  hopefully i'm not going to screw it up permanently or anything.

I almost completly ruptured in my lateral ligament was supposed to be out minium of 9week.s only 4weeks left of the season so I went back after 5days. Was fine just took a year and a bit to heal.

I broke my collar bone about a week ago.  You must be some sort of super human freak if you were 100% healed in two weeks, is that even possible?

Back of my foot is still a huge scab, debating whether I should cover it in moleskin and take some painkillers when it all rips off to go ski the epic PNW storm dump sunday or monday.

I annihilated my thumb a week ago, the ligament tore a chunk of the bone out of my thumb because I overextended it so hard... it's still in a cast but I went up today and I'm going up tomorrow. Have this massive, super unstylish mitt I have to use, only thing that'll fit over the cast haha.

i feel bad for you guys, my mom force fed me milk as a child, so i have bones of titanium yo. that's why knock on wood, ive never broken one. however, the not breaking any bones gets replaced by open and bloody wounds. but hey, thats way better that a broken ligament.

yea man it works out fine if you just be careful. i skied a few days after a broken collar bone with a sling over my jacket and continued until it was healed.  i mean how many times do you fall over just skiing normally?

You're just stupid.

I tore the cartilage that connected my rib cage to my sternum while skiing. I think I was supposed to take a month off but I had a comp in 2 weeks (LOTP) so I went and skied at that. Ended up placing 5th too.

I got mononucleosis and couldn't go to school for like 3 weeks but felt, for the most part, fine and since it was winter I went skiing almost everyday. For those who don't know, mon causes your spleen to become enlarged. I fell in the park, caught an edge in the park and cracked a rib against a box and partially ruptured my spleen... wasn't supposed to do anything active for the next 4 weeks... went skiing a few days later cased a an icy hip and broke my tailbone. When I went to see my doctor I thought she was going to slap me.

just went skiing today after 3 weeks off from a sprained knee and it took about 3 hours worth of good laps before it gave out and now is fucked up again. gotta see the doctor to get an MRI, its pretty swollen and bruised.


so, i would say, if its a lower body injury, wait it out, if its upper body, use your judgement

I broke my fibula like 2 days ago, Doc said 6 weeks of a cast so that means i can't ski until february, as if a midwester ski season isn't short enough.
