Replying to First Time Skiing Post ACL
Sup guys, so I had ACL and LCL surgery 12 month ago now (hamstring for ACL, synthetic for LCL). I took the rehab seriously, and my legs now are probably stronger than they were pre-op. I've been doing a ton of sprinting and cutting exercises, trampolining a bit, and bouldering some hamstring heavy routes, and all feels fine. Wouldn't say my knee feels quite like a normal knee but feels strong and not sure it'll ever be quite the same again.
So on Tuesday, I'm finally going to ski again. Unfortunately it's going to be on snowflex/dendex (no access to snow), and I'm not gunna pretend I'm a bit nervous. Was hoping some guys would be able to let me know how their first time back skiing/ progression back to jumps etc went after surgery, and any other tips etc.
