Hi Skidivas,
I'm so happy I've found this site!! I'm 51 and have been skiing for 11 years. I fell on the slopes Dec 26th and completely tore my ACL. I had surgery on Jan 16 to reconstruct my ACL using a cadaver donor's Achilles' tendon. This is my first knee injury ever. My husband and I are taking our three teenagers to Heavenly (Tahoe) to ski spring break (first week in April - 11 and 1/2 weeks post op). Has anyone tried to ski again that soon? I would be happy just doing a few green runs with a brace of course. I don't think my doctor would approve, but it's so hard and depressing to think my season is over. Thanks ladies!!
