Wow, I'm so impressed by you gals who got back out there on skis after ACL injuries.

I tore mine jumping off something (okay, it was a prop in a play I was acting in-- the most improbable way ever to tear an ACL) and I haven't gone downhill skiing since I had surgery to fix it. I somehow think that if I was able to tear mine doing a normal activity, then I'd really be prone to injuring it while skiing. While I love xc skiing, and I'd love to get back out on the (down)hills, I can't bring myself to do it because I'm so paranoid.

So kudos to you for getting back out on the mountain! Wear whatever you want. And bring a good luck charm to offset any potential bad mojo.

Have fun!
