Well Well, <BR> <BR>Although I can't officially downhill ski till February, the doctor gave me clearance to start Nordic skiing. I was so pumped. I ran home grabbed my skis and went for an hour long ski through the woods with a head lamp. Never felt so liberated. Although I did not ski yesterday I was at McIntyre for a race (small three trailed ski area in southern NH, Manchester). Conditions there would be about the same as Sunapee, Crotched or Ragged. Machine groomed with ice and 2+ inches of fresh wet snow on top of everything. <BR> <BR>Porter
 
A good way to tell if you're ready to ski is if in your weight lifting / bike riding or whatever rehab you're doing how the injured leg compares to the other one. When the injured leg is stronger, you're ready. <BR> <BR>When rehabbing after my torn meniscus of Feb. 20, 1995 I made this observation in mid-April. So I took a day at Mt. Baldy April 23 even my next doctor appointment wasn't until May because I didn't want to wait until Memorial Day to ski.
