Replying to To all my fellow ACL friends...

Blew up my knee this season, lateral/medial meniscus tears and ACL rupture. The rehab is going well, finally started walking yesterday after 6 weeks on crutches and now the real grind begins! Just wanted to reach out on NS and talk to anyone who's gone through this about their experiences. Coming back to freestyle skiing is different than basically any other sport I can think of, so I'm interested to hear how y'all held up.

What was your injury?

Do you ski at the same level you used to? Better? Worse?

Do you still feel pain while skiing?

What was the worst part of the recovery when it comes to skiing (I've heard my fair share of stories about recovery in general, but I want to hear what sucks when it comes to our favorite sport)

Did you switch your ski setup/do anything differently with your hardware post-injury?

Basically just looking for some reading material while I'm laid up and hopefully connect with some people that share this same passion and have gone through this same situation.
