That sounds like a horrible idea. Your knee starts to feel strong around 3 months, but it's acutally really weak during that time. Definitely wait the full six months at least an check with a doctor before skiing.
I tore both of my ACLs at the same time in march of last year. Got surgery at the begining of May on the first one and end of July for the second one. I skied my first day in January with custom braces on each leg. I took it real easy for a few weeks and I would be hurting pretty bad by the end of the day and had some swelling and shit. By the end of the season I was basically doing everything I used to do, but the hardest thing really is getting your confidence back. I did like a million straight airs and 180s before I felt comfortable enough to do any real tricks, but I guess its different for everyone.
like eveyone else said it really does come right back to you. I was a bit timid at first but then when I realized my knee whas strong, I started charging again. I have had two 100+ day seasons since my surgery.
When I first started back my knee would get super sore, but I made sure to ice it and treat it right. I would recommend getting on a joint supplement as well, that will help.
It is just super important you do a really good rehab job, work your ass off.
good luck
