 Poster: A snowHead
|
Years ago, on my first ski trip, my mate ruptured his knee ligaments a few days before the off. Rather than disrupt the skiing plans of his lovely fiancee, he decided to come with us all the same. It was priceless when we were queuing to load our luggage onto the coach, when after a succession of skibags were handed over, my mate handed over his crutches!
I don't think anyone who is injured or thinks they're injured should be compelled to ski, but surely their are worse ways to pass a week than with a stack of good books, knowing that a loved "other half" is out doing their stuff?
The OP needs to get this issue sorted, preferably by booking the trip for two and seeing what happens. If it smokes out that the injured party doesn't actually like skiing, then he'll have to be dumped sooner rather than later in any case, and the ski trip will help offset the upset that this might cause!

Get rid. If its important to you it should be to him. Or just go; that's what I did (although it was a girlfriend) and now I'm single. But, I got an extra weeks skiing and did some superb off piste.

I'm about to finish a week of offpiste skiing, five weeks after my ankle was in a cast. 6 days before skiing started was the first time I managed 5 minutes on the treadmill, at 4 miles an hour. I wasn't going to miss skiing though (Well I DID miss a week in Feb, but I don't think my foot would have fit into a boot 2 sizes larger, let alone not being able to step on it). I skied a couple decent lines this week.
I'll post pics but the connection here is poor (we got very lucky with the snow so there are some decent ones).
In summary, doctor visit to check out what's wrong with your bf's knee, or skiing. Or you go alone.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Just to add yet another tale of trauma, I broke my ankle really badly less than 2 years ago. I managed the Saslong FIS World Cup piste later the same year, and have fitted in 6 weeks skiing since then. I'm on a constant search for physios, masseurs and anyone else really who can make it stronger and bendier (still very weak and stiff.) If he wants to ski he'll find a way!
