Ski Diva Extraordinaire
I just got back from 10 days in the mountains. I have two more days before I have to go to work, but I had to leave because I can't ski. Flexing my left foot hurts like hell because I have a big blister right in the middle of the outside ankle bone. I did some fanstastic skiing of which 4 days were on powder days, though I was in too much pain on the fourth day to enjoy it, it was basically a survival battle all the way to the bottom (I realised my mistake of making it to the top once I clicked the skis on and started moving). Must say I got impressed with myself from managing not to fall even that I was so disgustingly out of balance (physically not able to put enough weight on the left ski) and this is while skiing powder when correct balance is the key. Anyway, one gentle off-piste run on a powder day all I could manage on December 31. Now, we have more snow coming this week (it was snowing at the mid-station level when I was leaving this morning) and heavy snow fall is predicted for mid-week and I desperately want to be able to ski it on Saturday.
So any recommendations for treating blisters? Mine is quite raw and the skin in the middle of it is gone, it's like I have a hole in it. It did get smaller, but I want it to disappear and so that I could enjoy the powder....
