here some REALLY incourage advice,
my dad has a rv at the bottom of breckenridge in CO, he is 50, and last winter he got 6 screws and a plate in his ankle (he bailed skiing doing a pretty impressive line for being 50, with lots of physio over the summer, he managed to ski 55 days this year, and skiing hard, and plans to get the plate and screws removed for next season.
If my dad can do it, you'll be shreading it up in no time, lots of physio, and hit the bike dude.

If it can be injured, I've probably done it. I have 2 screws and 2 pins in my knee, and a hamstring for an ACL. Boyd Easley has pig parts in his knee. Skogen Sprang almost lost his leg in a motocross accident. If those 2 can live to ski another day, you surely can.

You will ski again. Start hitting physio hard ASAP, take care of yourself, eat well, and things will work themselves out.



Freezy deletes all my posts because he doesn't like me, so I suggest you message him to make him stop.
