About a year ago, I hurt my knee playing soccer and my ACL was subsequently reconstructed. Therefore, I could not ski last winter. This winter, with my knee fixed and rehabbed, and a nice black brace, I’m making time to ski.
That’s exactly what I did today: ski. Day trip to Hunter Mountain with a friend who now lives in Connecticut. We put in a full day, with the last run at closing time (4:00 p.m.).
Got a shorter, lighter pair of skis in October, thinking I’d need something easier to turn with. After the first couple of runs, I got my groove back and started rippin it.
I can ski again!

I like your style...the crossed skis could be the new trend in skiing. Isn't it hard to turn while skiing in that fashion. Is this a pic of you out of control?? HA MAKI
Dude, it's OK. My last skydive I broke my leg but I'll be back just take a ski loessn .take as many as you need to learn. That's how it is .I should know since I am a ski instructor. Take a loessn from a real instructor though, not a friend.
In control, but it does look like the skis were getting out from under me, and my right hand is out of position. This was on the Way Out trail, so I was moving pretty fast. Skis aren't really crossing, just seems that way from afar. I was in the midst of weight-transfer.
I'm here to testify that Andreko still has the right stuff! If you fix your bindings you should be good for another 35 years or so, (as per our lodge friend). I just hope I can keep up! Live to Ski, Ski to live CLV
Good for you! We're leaving first thing tomorrow to ski. Hope I fair as well with my nice black brace...
I guess this year Hunter Mountain skiers will be skiing on the real stuff. Glad to hear your ski trip went well - it's always good to get back into the groove. Nata
