Ski Diva Extraordinaire
Hi ladies! I won the lottery during a pretty bad Heli ski accident in UT 10mo ago with glorious tomahawking which resulted in a right lateral TPF with meniscus and MCL tears. Thank god for my surgeon in SLC who was also an avid skier. Fast forward to accomplishing all milestones way earlier than they expected, I just started skiing again here in the Tahoe area
I’ve gone two days and while I’m grateful I’m skiing, I’m obviously not skiing the same. I’m in the backseat guarding my injury. It starts to hurt over time, esp if I ski properly. My MCL and where the hardware is really doesn’t like the lateral force skiing puts on it but I can do it, until I have stop.
I know Divas sustained this horrid injury, too. I’d love to know how skiing again went for you. Did you get your full ability back? Are you now better than before? Or have you had to accept that you may never ski the same? My surgeon made me promise easy/intermediate groomers ONLY this season. It blows but he’s right. Has anyone learned again how to ski pow post TPF? Taken a nasty fall post TPF?
