I just ate it hardcore on a rail today the bruises are not that bad but i will get over it...but i keep twisting my thumb when I land on my hand...guess it is because i hold on to my pole but still I just asked a skipatrol guy cuz it looks huge...and it seems to happen more often...so any ideas how i could protect that...besides not beeing such a bad skier who keeps falling on it?

I swaped the Alps with the Middle of Wisconson can't wait till I can go back where I belong!

Same exact fucking thing happens to me. I haven't been able to move or use my thumbs for about a month now. It really sucks because I can't hold pencils for school, and I get a nasty bruise all around my palm. And, no, I have no idea how to prevent it.

use athletic tape. tape the top of your wrist and just kinda bring it up to your thumb... any trainer or a ski patrol could probably show you what to do... i have the same problem with my pinky, its in a splint for now
was that your first time....yah know...seeing one? - aclsarescary

that is called skiers thumb, I get it from trying to break my falls. Right now it is only in my right hand but once I get it it will never fully go away for the rest of the year.
I also broke my pointer finger, it was just pointing the wrong way out of the knuckle (after a fall) so I pulled it real hard and now it healed wrong. I found that tape helps a lot.

Get one of those wrist braces. They work wonders.

maybe don't put your hand in the strap of the pole to relieve some pressure?
