just broke my collarbone today and wanted to see how long it took for people to get back to skiing as Im out on a season and don't want to get super bored
You def wanna let it heal and not shift you could go out tomorrow. But it's fucking risky. Best to stay off for at least 4 weeks imo. I had my collarbone shift after a week and a half of healing the last time. Was even now zi got a bump. At least it didn't need surgery.
It sucks but it's worth letting injuries heal proper imo. A few weeks seems like forever but having your shit heal properly is worth it.
Play some skate etc. I actually played so much xbox one of the times i broke my cb that I kept playing with the controller to my side even after it was healed.

I feel you. We had a pow day in 2011 when I was living in NH. I was out with a collarbone and workers comp paid for it so couldnt risk it. Lifty friend understoof and gsve me his jacket and I took a lap just to feel the snow and the wind. It was worth it. Sucked being broken and having to run a lift but that run made life ok for a bit.
Basically like anything else, do what yiu do but know the risks and be careful. Hitting park in the first few weeks is a bad idea. If it popped it can make it worse and end up surgical and even if it's the same you're back to square one for heal time.
I had a cracked vertebrae and femur that healed a little wonky because I didn't give it nearly enough time. Leg isn't bad but back def didn't heal right. Just don't yank it around and don't fall on it.
yeah c bones are no big deal but definitely let it heal completely. definitely not worth it to re-injure it/cause it to not heal 100% properly
when i broke mine i forget when i returned to the slopes but i definitely took it super easy and i'm glad i did. i know you're prob gonna be dying to shred but it's not worth it man

True. Lol. I broke my rib helping a drunk friend home from the bar. Always something dumb. Actuslly rhe "never happens on anything good reminded me of a video". Snerberd content though
A few seasons back I broke mine in the beginning of January and was able to get back skiing without any big problems mid march. I didn't have a severe break that required screws to be put in or any kind of surgery though. it was just a minor one where the doctor was like "yeah shit's broken, here's a sling" kind of break.
Was it a full break? I broke mine February 1st of last year, surgery same day, 1 plate 11 screws. Back skiing the first week of April. No jumps, but got 10 days in to end the season, felt pretty good.

fuck. nasty break that.
I've broken my finger, collarbone, wrist and neck (all separate breaks) and can confidently say the collarbone was by far the most painful, even though mine was just a baby fracture which didn't require surgery. Was back at the gym within 4-6 weeks.

That's fucking rough I just got a clean break so shouldn't be too bad
Be careful with yours, I had a plate holding mine together. Small splits like that can be re-aggravated. I remember reading a bunch of threads on here when I broke mine.
I broke mine last year right around this same time. I fractured it in 2 places but it was within the natural healing tolerance so I didn't need surgery either. I stayed off snow for 6 weeks then eased into it for 2 more and was back skiing 100% within 8 weeks.
If you keep it mellow and wear your sling like you're supposed to you'll be back by end of February / early March feeling great.

Yeah man it's tough, I had the same thing last year with all my co-workers out smashing pow and I was the only one in the office on pow days, hahaha.
One thing I found that helped out a ton was getting a cheap gym membership and riding the spin bikes. It doesn't require any arms so you can keep it in the sling and be safe but it keeps your legs in shape so you'll be able to hop back into skiing without having that early season atrophy.
seems strange ti bring back up an old thread but this finally got fixed eith playes and pins. anyone got any idea of lower body exercise i can do so i dont go into season without any type of conditioning

I got some metal in mine a few years back, I did a lot of arm exercises with resistance bands and that seemed to help a lot. That and some shoulder stuff

Did they keep yours in? I had to get mine out eventually. The setup would have fucked my rotator cuff.
That was the onky time i got metal for one though. Now mines fucked again but from a different time. Healed but not smooth. Shits throwing my back all weird. Keep getting a knot on other side and somebody told me its pribabky related and the injury is fucking my posture and shit. Idk.

They kept it in, but I got a few plates and screws on top of the bone so they stick out some. The doctor said if it starts to bother me they can take it out since it’s all healed now, but if not there’s no reason to go back in and fuck with it

yeah my doc said to take the plate out in a year or two but i don't know if i want to go through it all again
