Ski Day#: 58
Date: 03/13/19
YTD totals: 657 Runs/Lift Rides, 851,145 Vertical ft., 741 miles
Area: Schweitzer
Weather: High overcast and variable fog upper 1/2 mountain, 27 to 31*F
Snow: 2" new on top of 10" 24 hr pow.
Best thing: Being able to ski 9 runs....... On the 3rd run, my "bad" knee unexpectedly shifted (which is a partial dislocation, or "subluxation") in upper JR Trees, (has had ACL complete rupture for 30+ years), which is never fun. It was just slightly sore, so I was able to ski 6 more runs w/o issue, but being very careful....... as careful as one can be skiing powder in the trees. Problem noted when I took my skis off, and walked; mild, medial joint line knee pain w/ knee extended between 30 to 0°. This is most likely a tibial plateau/bone bruise, and possible meniscus tear/strain. But, I have minimal swelling, so I don't think there are any tears, or they aren't too bad. Have 1 day to rest and see what happens. I'll work on finishing mixing a new song by The Tickets, and making a lyric video of it, to release. At the very least, I think I'll still be able to ski groomed runs, but may have to take a few days off. Ski get together (Spring Fling II) with old high school buddies is next week in Sandpoint, and my 60th birthday is a week from today. The next ski day will equal my current age........ unless I can't ski for a week.
Daily stats: 9 Runs, 13,176 Vertical ft, 11.4 miles
