36 weeks- any Telemark skiers out there?
Its been some time since I have updated my progress. I am at 36 weeks now and am feeling pretty good. I still have some swelling, especially after activity but everything else is coming along great. I no longer wake up with a stiff foot! At this point I can still tell that while walking it is definitely tighter than my “good” leg but only when I focus on it, otherwise I can’t tell. I have also started skiing again but only Alpine for now. Which leads me to my question in the title. I typically Telemark ski and have for some time. My therapist mentioned to probably not Tele till later in this ski season so I am on Alpine gear for now. No issues at all with Alpine but I want to get back to Tele. Any one out there have any experience coming back from Achilles surgery and Tele Skiing? I know I could probably get “my fix” by taking easy runs and not performing deep turns but I also don’t want to push it and risk further injury. Any help out there would be great!
