i broke my wrist skiing 2 weeks ago and am going on a trip to utah this weekend. what are the restrictions of skiing w/ a broken wrist?
 
don't land on ur wrist....seriously if its in a cast just be carefull and don't ride park or take too many chances
 
i still skiied when i broke mine, jsut dont do any stuff where you think your gonna fall. oh and make sure you get a big enough glove to fit over your cast, thats vital
 
i have a broken thumb, its a whole wrist cast. If its cotton dont get it wet, make sure ur shits dry before you go out. it will freeze. your pretty much fine bro, the cast is to protect. if it hurts take it easy
 
i have a fractured hand and wrist and i just took my cast off, 3 weeks early because i didntwant to wear it... what you should do is tighten up your pole strap so that your wrist can kind of rest on the strap and take some pressure/weight off of it and more onto the pole... ive found that it is irritating to hold the pole alot though so i would always let go going up the lift
 
k i broke my thumb right before i went to utah and jackson and i just skiied like i normally did but i seriously advice trying not to land on it cause it might hurt. I just skiied with and oven mitt for 6 weeks
 
broke my wrist 2 weeks before i left for mammoth a few years back. just get a glove/jacket that fits nicely over the cast, and don't do anything dumb. other than that you should be just fine. ski w/i your ability and you should be allll set. 
 
it's fine, I found it easier to ski with no pole in that hand though. was kinda off balance at first but I got used to it.
 
i broke my wrist about 3 years ago and rode the 2nd half of the season with no poles and a cast on my arm. I just kept it clean and smooth and skied really well actually.
