What's the doctor say - gonna need surgery or just keep it immobile for a while and let things tighten back up?

I haven’t been able to get a doctor’s appointment. However, it is healing well with no pain, reduced swelling, and increasing strength. I’m feeling pretty hopeful.

Views from Heavenly is truly stunning. There are several spots in different parts of the mountain offer this impressive view. For comparison, it has better scenery than Banff (SSV and LL) in my opinion. It is neat that I can ski across state lines between Nevada and California.
I skied 3 Tahoe mtns thus far, Northstar, Heavenly and Mt Rose. I like Heavenly the most.
It is an unique experience that I feel I am skiing towards a lake. Nowhere else has that, besides Portillo in Chile? I never been to Chile and only guessing...

My nephew was at Northstar today. He said Tahoe cement is a real thing. Snow conditions were not so good, very slushy and heavy sticky snow.
He's looking forward to heavenly on Thursday.

I agree, Heavenly has terrific views.
Lutsen in MN, on a number of runs you are skiing toward Lake Superior.
This is me trying to capture part of the vast blue expanse mid-run.

I totally agree with your assessment of Heavenly. I’ve got some places I really like to ski around Lake Tahoe, but Heavenly is just special. The vibe, the views, the people, it’s all good stuff. Glad you enjoyed it!

Heavenly is very heavenly.
Back to Heavenly today. Met up with @santacruz skier around mid-day, we had lunch at Tamarack lodge and spent the remaining day skied some trees and bumps. I would not venture out these tree runs if just me and my nephew. We are too cautious and not familiar with the area to be comfortable doing that on our own. @santacruz skier: Thanks again for showing us around. We enjoyed it tremendously and appreciate your patience, I am a slow poke.
My take, it's always beneficial to meet up with a local or someone familiar with the mountain for few runs(at least). You get to know where and when to ski/avoid certain areas/runs....
Tree runs off Canyon chair are very manageable for us 2 intermediates. Reminds me of some tree runs at Big Sky but not as steep.
We took Around the World and Olympic Downhill back to base at the end of the day.
Around the World is actually a cat track, condition was slushy but the view was impressive, felt like I was skiing around lake Tahoe.
I hope to post more photos tomorrow or Saturday, our last day of skiing.
