I just broke my elbow and I’m looking at no real skiing for the rest of the season. How do guys overcome this pit of despair, what do you do when skiing is 80% of your personality and you can’t do it anymore.

Find a way to spend time outside. Low impact. Maybe birdwatching with a monocular.

Learn to be a better cook? Buy a cookbook and run thru it. Work on a project, like, build a 3d printer or something.


do not get addicted to cigarettes like I did recovering from a compressed L1 :)

Which part? I fractured aka broke my left funny bone. Fuck that was a doozie. But anyways, did it in may. Was skiing park in October/November.

I don’t want to be that guy but you can KINDA ski with broken elbow. Maybe yours is worse but mine was pretty much in the most nerve filled bone in the body. You’ll come back. Don’t worry about it, bud. Probably sooner than you think too
