so i got a question for all you injured skiers.

a few weeks ago I had reconstructive surgery on my ankle and heel. and my doctor said ill be able to ski in march.. how should i go about getting back into skiing... other than PT?
 
just give it the necessary time to heal or thigns will be way worse, i guess you could like film or take photos photos of your friends but ski super easy
 
NOOOOOOOOOOO. NOT YOU TOO! I'm so sorry man. Probably the most frusterating injury ever. I cased a table last april and screwed my heel over REALLY bad. The doctors said I don't need surgery. But they still said it could take 18 months from when it happened to be 100%...which is next October. Best wishes on your recovery.
 
that is so gay, im sorry bro. there's nothing you can do right now except for PT, but hit the bike as soon as you can in order to get your knee loose and build your stamina back up. whenever they let you, do a little bit of hiking. youre not gonna be able to lift weights or anything with them for a while, so hiking or snow shoeing at your local hill will probably get your legs feeling good faster than anything else.

that being said, your knee isnt gonna be great until next season. sorry, that's just the way it is. my bro had the same sortve thing, he blew his knee in football and they let him back on skis in spring, but his knee was still super wobbly and weak. every time he hit an ice patch he had a panic attack because he could feel the graft vibrating inside his knee joint. he's back to 100% now though, but it took a lot longer than he thought it would. 

i broke my shoulder really bad and tore it all up pretty early in the season a couple years ago. the good thing about that was that i could ski with it and just get it fixed over the summer, so that's what i did. i feel bad for anyone who gets a pressing injury that they cant ski through until the end of the season. 
 
ya man it sucks.. ive never been much of a jump/rail hitter more of just an admirer and all mountain skier so its not going to be that hard for me to get back into things (or so i think).. but hopefully i can take some pictures and ski easy.. while im onto it any way to practice on dry land like grass (other than turf) as well as whats the motion of a butter if anybody could send me a sequence or anyting thatwould be sick
