Backcountry Skiing - Skyline Bowl

Dan telemark skiing in Skyline Bowl, Stevens Pass.

Day Of

Some pictures from the day of my injury. Other than the tear, it was a beautiful day in the backcountry. Location is Skyline Bowl by Heather Ridge.

Laid Up

I tore my MCL while skiing about two weeks ago. It has been a difficult adjustment to get used to having to be so sedentary. I realize now that I took for granted the ability to run, walk without a limp and climb stairs two at a time. I find myself looking longingly at people running and riding their bikes. I now move with a crutch, appreciate handicap bathrooms, take elevators when possible and get in and out of my car like a senior citizen. It's not much fun.
