First Day Skiing In Two Years

Two years ago I wrecked my knee, ended up having to get two knee surgeries over the course of about 10 months. I'm in Beaver Creek, Colorado and despite not having the best conditions, today was the most fun I've had skiing in my life.

To anyone that's out of commission this season, you'll be back skiing in no time! Just don't think about skiing.

What a coincidence.  I destroyed my knee last January 26 and today was my first day out there again, too.  Lots of damage (ruptured patellar tendon, ACL, MCL, etc.), two surgeries, a lot of hard work and very little fun in the past 11 months.  I'm going to be on groomers for a while and have a long ways to go before I'm good again, but just being out there arching turns and getting windburn felt sick.

Take it easy as you progress.  I'm sure two years of downtime makes you not want to go back to square one anytime soon.  Congrats!
