Pretty much what the title says. I am sitting at home missing one of the only storms in the East with stiches and I'm really bored.

at a ski race one time my friend with a broken hand, duct taped his pole to his cast in position lol, used like a whole roll of tape.

id say your best bet is jack it all day everyday until healed.

just wrap that finger in medical or duct tape. and shred without gloves. make an immobilizer for the finger out of popsicle sticks.


ive been riding no gloves, err day, for the past two seasons. you can do it for just one storm. come on, we dont get snow like this on the east coast very often.

wrap it up in some gauze, get a big oven mit (I've done this with a cast), and go ski no poles.  Enjoy the storm

That seems like an awesome way to break your wrist again. If you fall duct tape won't release.

Use the blue tape first, the stuff that doesn't stick to your hand, but it sticks to itself. Then use medical tape.

Dude, come on. I broke my 3rd metacarpal a month ago and had to have surgery with 6 screws and a plate put in. I was skiing a few days later recreationally, and then a week later doing rails. 2 weeks after surgery, I was trying handdrags for the first time and hitting jumps. Doctor said 2-3 month recovery of NO skiing. Lesson in the story: Don't listen to them. Be careful.
