Replying to Shin splints

Hey guys, hopefully someone can help me with this...
My shins are pretty weak, and from some running injuries I've have almost consistent shin splints for about 2 years. After a day of skiing I have to stop for a few days to ice my shin and let it heal. And it hurts like hell while I ski. I've tried adding extra padding over my socks on my shin, and soon I'm going to try wearing a soccer shin guard. I've tried taking supplements too to help strengthen my bones there, but it hasn't really worked.
Any suggestions?
