ParticipantJoe, spring skiiing is notorious for large herds of snow snakes. You didn’t ‘catch an edge’, you were most likely bitten by one of those spring time snow serpents. This was not your fault. (I’ve got a long list of snow serpent crashes).

ParticipantSnow snakes?! Damn you, snow snakes! Ive heard of these…Breckenridge’s got a pest problem! They should really consider hiring an exterminator…. 😆

There’s the problem. Breck is full of Texicans and they bring those snakes up with them. Better to ski at Copper. More natives=less snakes.

ParticipantNo problemo on the ACL and Meniscus. I have no ACL and only half the meniscus in the left knee. I still ski just fine but wear a brace if I”m doing black or double black diamond runs. Still run too, just need a little vitamin I at times (Ibuprofen). Also severed all my quads and most of the hamstrings in the other leg in a bad biking accident.
waiting out part of a season is a pain, but focus on rehab. You can and must rehab. Then you can still have fun, but don’t short change the rehab time or effort. Make it as serious as any sport you want to continue with. Hope to see you on the tracks again soon.June 4, 2007 at 5:40 am #58141Jon Romenesko
ParticipantYikes! Sounds like your legs have seen better days! I guess it could be worse, eh? 😯
Well, since this has more or less taken me out of working for a while, i’ll be focusing on recovery, big time (guess i got nothing else to do, right? 😉 ). That’s what everyone says is so important. Not only do i want to get back into the kart ASAP, but i’d kinda like to get back to a normal life….considering i havent walked under my own power for 2 months now. 😛
