Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Bruised ankle from skiing
 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

On a recent trip my inside right ankle became blistered and bruised to the point where I could no longer ski (more the pain from the bruise than the blister). Any ideas what may have caused this? I'm thinking boots too tight or even not tight enough. Anyone else had a similar problem?

yes, I had an issue with my outside ankle. Became really painfull, I ended up with putting loads of padding on it just to ease the pain. I'm hoping it'll be better this season. I have no idea how I caused it since my boots felt comfortable and weren't over tight. Be interested to hear if anyone has a remedy or diagnosis.

I had a similar problem some time ago when I started instructing on the dry slope. The increased usage of my (by then quite old) boots caused the liners to pack down which allowed my ankles to move from side to side within the boots. I solved the problem temporarily by inserting semi-rigid foam packing between the liners and the boot shells. The permanent solution was to buy new boots. Cool

I had the same thing with a new pair of boots a few yrs ago, with my outside left ankle. Really struggled for a week's skiing as a result but then went for a cheeky late trip later in the season & decided to try buckling my boots differently - worked like a charm & I haven't had a prob since. The prob was that the buckle on my instep was angled slightly back towards my ankle. I straightened it & it was fine. So your prob could be a buckling issue. Try experimenting to see which set up suits you best & at the first sign of any discomfort at all try a different set up.
Of course this may not be your prob but could be worth a go.
Hope it works out for you.
