it took me a whole year to fully recover from this and sometimes it is still sensible.
But I could still ski after 2-3 weeks, but don't fall hard on it again like I did on a kangflip attempt.

And do physiotherapy, u will recover faster.

everyone says butters are "low risk" but within 15 minutes on my first day this season I caught an edge flying off a lip on a butter three and screwed my shoulder up royally.  i had to take it easy for several weeks and its still not 100%

hey dude i have done this a lot to both of my shoulders. Ive done grade 3 twice. It fucking sucks and I know how painful it is so I feel for you. Basically take it real easy for like a week (like no moving it at all). Then like they guy said ^ do your physio cos it helps recovery so much.
In my opinion don't get the surgery unless you have done the rotator cuff as well cos you'll be out for the season for sure and a lot of doctors say it isn't worth it if you gonna keep skiing anyway.
With a grade 3 you're looking at about 5-6 weeks before you feel comfortable on skis again.
Sorry to hear the news due, good luck with recovery.

thanks guys your support is much appreciated. i went to a sports doctor and the diagnosis was a grade three separation, AC joint sprain, and torn ligaments in my shoulder. fortunately, i wont need surgery and could be back in five or so weeks! btw, typing with one hand sucks

That really really sucks. I caught an edge with a little 2 onto a sticky butter box opening day at PC (November 21st) and I broke my greater tuberosity on my humourous in my shoulder and tore a bunch of ligaments. I have a 3 month recovery, so 6 more weeks! But I'm so excited to ski again. I only got one run of real skiing, and I wad pretty much just scoping things out. Feel ya man.

I may have torn my ACL today.  I was going for a 7, and idk what happened, it was clean in the air I just came down and my knee hurt like a bitch.  Unfortunately, I turned off my GoPro during this run,  and I broke the mount for it.  Yay.

Yea I just got back to school on monday, finally a real mountain (Stowe) and this happens my second day.  I have no idea what I am going to do if I really did tear it or anything bad.
