You already hopped on my photo comments, but I’ll add that it takes up to a year plus for an acl graft to fully heal. Switch landings are your friend and avoid any situation where you may go backseat heavily as that’s probably the most common scenario to blow an ACL. My surgeon told me he sees most of his repeat customers around 6-8 months post op when they thought they were good to go, so take it slow.

Give it a full year I can tell you from experience you do not want to re-rupture that ACL the surgery and recovery second time round is longer, harder and a lot more painful.
Get a good knee brace like a Don Joy Fourcepoint Armour and take it easy when you first get back on snow.
Good luck!

I did MCL and ACL, started "skiing" at 7.5 months after surgery, didn't really get back into tricks until 9 months out and felt fully ready to go at 12 months.
