my first time skiing after ACL surgery!!! skiing with a brace at 10 months post-op

The recovery grind has not stopped but it has paid off because I am back on snow! At just over 10 months post-op I tried my first turns, and tested out skiing with a knee brace. I have received a lot of opinions on skiing with a brace and here is mine: skiing with a brace after knee surgery is like driving with a seat belt. You hope you don't need to use it for it's intended purpose (to protect the knee from overextending/rotating), but just in case you do get into a situation where you need it you will be sorry you didn't have it. Skiing in general is a risk to the knees, whether you are coming out of a recent knee surgery or not. Personally, I generally plan to ski with a brace for most of my entire first season after knee surgery. When I choose to not ski with a brace I will take less risks than on days when I have the brace on. The absolute best thing I could do for my knee right now is to not return to skiing. But, I like it so I'm gonna do it. And to compensate at least a little bit for my eagerness to get back on snow I am going to wear the brace. And continue to strength train and practice impact and lateral quickness for many months to come. But meanwhile I am so stoked to be on skis again :) All the good footage was filmed by Zack Paukert Song: This Fractured Mind - Nation of Language
