Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Unfortunately we lost by a point in the last play  It isn't what I wanted to hear but I was thinking of the disability skiing, or knowing how much I love skiing, should I stay at home with some family friends because I couldn't stand not doing it and having to watch everyone else?

bobbybod, you're 15. Too young to want to read and enjoy the scenery and certainly too young to drown your sorrows with the après.
I would stay at home. It will drive you mad watching everyone go off skiing and hearing about it when they got back. Sorry.

I'd get the money back on insurance and use the dough to take yourself off summer skiing somewhere instead.

As much as I would love to ski on one leg it may be difficult to learn in a week so I might give that a miss but thank you CRAN. SKISIMON I would ski on it if I could put weight on it but I can't. I am a bit like you in the sense of that I would go if I thought I probably could just about survive, but due to the non-weight bearing overlooking my percentage of survival I probably won't. MAGGI, that is the argument constantly in my head but due to the pressure of exams and work at schoolI need a break away so will go but, I tell you what, I won't do any reading or work just for you.

bobbybod, that is such a shame for you - I recall our youngest doing something dire to his knee in the last rugby match of his school career late in December and we were heading off to Saalbach on around the 23rd. He did come with us, he was 18 at the time, but on crutches with a huge brace on the knee - it was Christmas after all. As it turned out the wife of the other family we were meeting up with had an unexpected major op about two weeks before so she was not skiing either - we worked it out so that the two of them would get themselves somewhere where we could all meet up for lunch - it wasn't ideal for anyone but those two made the best of it.
And I could have happily punched all those stupid people at the airport on the way out making sarcastic comments about going away on crutches...
I would stay at home and hope that you get compensated by a good trip next year - I think you say you could stay with some family friends so not home alone (think mother worries immediately!!).

bobbybod, sorry to hear your news.
Two questions - where are the family going?
Are you in a cast? (I assume you are, but you don't mention it)

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

bobbybod, I've just asked my 17 yr old what he would do. Straightaway he said "I'd stay at home" but then hummed a bit as the weather is often so good at this time of year and he does like reading. He's bringing school books away with us next week for our own holiday so wouldn't be having a full day's skiing every day anyway. I think that he would come, unless he was able to stay at his girlfriends perhaps
Yes and with regard to flying - are you in a cast?

You know it makes sense.

IMHO Stay at home, get the money back on insurance and go another year...
assuming parents go skiing, house is yours for a week of parties

Stay at grandma's and be pampered.
If you go on holiday, you'll be bored silly within the first 3 hours and pi$$ed off that you can't ski. Your folks won't be able to relax because they'll be picking up on your disenchantment and you'll all end up being miserable and falling out.
