Hey NS,

So I broke my clavicle 4 days ago in one place and I was wondering if anyone has ever been in the same boat as me and knows when I can ski again.

I am hoping that I will be able to ski on my summer set up sometime this summer.



Thanks :)

I broke my clavacal and a couple bones in my shoulder early in the season and after about 7 weeks I was back on Skis. I couldn't throw anything and decided to do some filming for others for a little bit. It's deffentally not something to rush though. Even now if I knuckle a jump or land flat I feel it a little bit in my shoulder. Recently I took a small spill that tweaked my arm a little and it hurt for about 3 days. When you are cleared to start PT it is super important to do what the therapist says. I didn't do the exercises for the first part of PT and once I started doing it I realized it helped so much and if I started right away I could have been back to skiing much faster.

I snapped my collarbone pretty bad, but went skiing 3 weeks later and was completely fine. Could still hit rails and stuff, just didn't start throwing tricks for a couple more weeks after that. If you do ski at all in the next 6 months be careful how you fall, because if you land on it the right way it will just rebreak. I landed on mine on snow a couple times, and it still healed up perfect, but make sure you watch out for that. Don't get worried just go have fun skiing mellow

I broke mine last weekend of the season, and I was feeling good enough to rock climb 4, weeks later. Don't rush it though if it hurts stop what you're doing.

Did the doc plate it or is it healing naturally?

The doctors are still thinking about it but I think might get surgery with a plate.
