GOODESkier Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Was very excited after my wife got on her new ski and bindings tonight. Her first set of the year, and she is already back to where she was last season on her old ski. Gotta love it when your spouse is excited about the new gear and is asking you questions about technique and what to do at certain points in the course. Her PB is a full pass at 24.? MPH last year on a loaner Nano One and powershells. She is working on form and getting more stacked at the slower speed. She struggle most with getting stacked on her off-side. She was skiing 26.? MPH tonight and was running about her normal from 24.? MPH. SUPERB NIGHT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razorskier1 Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 My wife just had her hip replaced. She's skied with me ever since we were married, and is my primary driver. She loved her surgeon . . . until yesterday. At her six week appointment he told her that he didn't think she should ski. She was pissed, because pre-surgery he said it would probably be OK. I think (a) he doesn't understand the sport and (b) he HAS to say that! Hell, Lucky Lowe won at nationals after a hip replacement (or two), and my brother has a friend who skis and barefoots post hip replacement. I told her she's fine to ski. She still doesn't like her surgeon anymore! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Than_Bogan Posted May 15, 2014 Baller Share Posted May 15, 2014 @Razorskier1 That surprised me a little. My (thankfully indirect!) experience with surgeons has been that they tend toward arrogance and usually have a "better than new" attitude about their work. I think I'd actually find it refreshing if a surgeon was cautious about what to do post-surgery! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razorskier1 Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 @Than_Bogan -- you probably know my history -- 3 knee surgeries, four shoulder surgeries, biceps tendon reattachment, and major neck surgery last year. In every instance I was told I should "find a different activity". My reply . . . if you can keep putting me back together, then I'm going to keep skiing! Now, I do rehab like a machine, so I'm not stupid. None of my ski-related surgeries has been repeated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
