hey i know a lot of people on here have had season ending injury. what is there to do to occupy the time you would normally be on the snow? and what do you do to get over the fact that you are gonna be soooooooooooooo behind?

basicly it sucks. you have to try and take up a hobbie like art or music or something like that. I started editing. the big thing for me was to keep reminding myself that at least I am still around and there are many other people who have it so much worse than me. just keep telling yourself that you will get better, and take this time to really get to know yourself.

Try photography. Reletively inexpensive, worth getting good at, fun... really there are no downsides. Also, try netflix, its the couch potato/stuck-at-home-person's dream.

sex, booze, and physiotherapy. Hit the gym too, cuz god knows you didn't before the injury. Which probably has something to do with why you're hurt.

get out on skis and film your buddies, you arent gonna fall standing there with the tripod, and you get to ski a bit... even if it is without poles

O yes, you can ski backcountry is syracuse ny

just stay positive and look foward to being back...be glad that you aren't out forever and do the most that you can to make a hasty recovery, focus on therapy if that's what you have ahead of you and find other outlets to occupy your time away from the hill...good luck

i was injured for 14 weeks in a row last summer. So basically i had no spring, summer or fall. I tried to get out as much as possible to the mx track and with friends and stuff. The worst thing is getting hurt and after your healed up you go out and hurt yourself again right away. Learn to live with pain.

i was just gonna ask a question like this. i fractured and disclocated my ankle a little over a week ago and im supposed to be out for a really long time. no more skiing till next season and nothing really hard this summer because the break involved my growth plate and since im still growing its bad. i just sit home, watch tv, think of skiing, read mags, and eat.

Good question, and some good answers. I was down for three weeks with a disco shoulder, and on my first day back I took out my rock skis with Tyrolia SP9 shit ass demo bindings and lo, they popped off when I hit a bump at high speed. Doc said 6 more weeks. Why did I just post this story? Boredom. However, i've now had almost 5 weeks of injury time, so here are my suggestions:

1)Combine your prescribed painkillers with some potent weed - indoor shit that gives you a headache doesn't count. Percocet is the best, but T3's will do. It's best to take 3-4 Percocets instead of the suggested 1-2, as the resulting stupor will leave you utterly retarded and incapable of coherent thought. You'll know you hit the jackpot when your pupils turn into tiny dots that refuse to get bigger.

2)After this has gotten boring, try snorting a Percocet or two. Zing!

3)Have plenty of sex, and work around your injury. If you live in a ski town like myself, you'll have to make do with heavily stacked odds - it's best to turn to porn if you're in this boat.

4)Write a story, paint a picture, do something creative. This is fun for about... 30 minutes. Note that it will not get you through the weeks of insanity that injuries cause.

5)Develop a bitter hatred for all those who are skiing while you sit at home and stare at your now useless season's pass. If you're out for the season, learn how to forge a new photograph onto said pass and sell it for some more percocet.

6)Relive those last few moments before the injury (if you can remember them) over and over again. This will lead to step 7.

7)Just let the insanity take you downstream, because nothing you do during the downtime is as good as skiing. This is easiest to do after or during a big powder dump.

Hope you find the suggestions useful Becca! Drugs! AGH!

well if you wanna know waht happened: almost a year ago i was skiing a boyne during the 'Spring Board meeting' and while i was there i wrapped my knee around the leg of an unskirted rail... this severly hyper-extended my knee and gave me a slight tear on my acl in the 'green zone'... so my doctor didn't want to do anything about it and my knee hadn't been the same since... then about a month and a half ago i hit a jump my first run first time on the jump and csed as i often do being much smaller than most of the guys hitting the jumps... any way i cased and my left knee bent the normal way and my right knee bent the opposite way... so i have been limping around ever since and finally went tot he doctor about a week ago and i found out i exploded my acl... i get surgery in 2 weeks which means no more skiing till next season (no skiing in whistler or argentina)
