It’s been two weeks now, since I ruptured my ACL once again… I guess I’m one of the leaders in having torn the ACL that often, 4 times at the same knee, 5 knee surgeries… 😉 That I would be already back on skis just two weeks after this injury – wouldn’t have thought that… And none of my physio’s or doc’s would have thought that either 😉 I guess, I’m gonna keep this secret;-)… or not? …hehe…
…had a great weekend at the Arlberg, sharing it with some good friends 🙂 Friday evening me and Kerstin went on a short night-ski tour. My physiotherapist gave me the okay that I could go for a short one… For one – a short one 😉 It was soooooo good to be out in the snow and on the mountain again – clear night, stars shining bright – AWESOME!!! Knee felt good when hiking up and skiing down, I’m in good shape and the muscles are getting strong again 🙂
The evening was a bit longer than expected – “Mäxchen” (a funny game of dice) was the reason…
Next day – sunshine, blue sky 🙂 Chris, Susi and me decided to go for a skitour, an easy one – in Pettneu, as there are hardly any skiers there and for hiking up the slope that’s perfect. Anywhere else at the Arlberg it would be nearly impossible to hike up at the slopes… Toooo many skiers!!! It was the first skitour for Susi, so perfect for her to start out with that sport, for me it was cool to get out and be on the skis again…
Evening out at Hazienda… Great food, great people…
Sunday…
Another beautiful day, so instead of going directly back to Innsbruck I decided to make a side trip to Kappl/Paznauntal… It’s one of my favourite ski-resorts in the “Oberland”… It’s beautiful there and hardly any Freeriders there yet… You can notice that by the old-fashioned cable-cars… Small, tiny ones for four people and just space for ordinary skis… I couldn’t stick my Watea’s in there, so I had to take them inside…
Just had the touring equipment with me and wanted to go for a tour again but when I got to the top and saw the beautiful scenery I thought it would be nicer to ski a little around, take some pix and see how it’s going with the knee… Knee felt good and stable, so I skied around a bit, shredding on the slope and having fun in the snow…
The whole weekend off and I’ve done NOTHING for school 😉 Have to try to keep up tomorrow…
Have a good start in the week!!!! Mel:-)
