NH_Operator =1st butthurt quitter of the season, He is getting some good advise over at NS like this ;"Mt. Washington - if your backcountry trained.. nothing beats it.. except maybe Jay sidecountry".
Keep pushing Fussy and you'll be out before you know it.

Yeah, I was hoping that thread had taken off overnight only to be disappointed that it was completely gone this morning :(. About right given the gloomy grey foggy morning.Quote:

We're doing calendars again at FIS. Pretty stoked on the cover design this year

just a few copies were printed this season...
Dang, calendar on order, must finally be winter!
Thought as you got more famous you would make more calendars.
Props for Backcountry Magazine credit.
Good news, mri came back clean other than a cyst near/touching the ACL, so that may be causing the discomfort. Going to take it elsewhere for a second look to be careful but overall pretty pumped.
dont have time to deal with shipping oodles, so we just got a exactly what we sold last year... no increase. when they're gone, they're gone.Quote:

Gonna have to hit Ascutney with you one day my friend.
First I only saw the shot of Jake, then I saw the photographer profile, then I found the pic of Ben and finally the pic in the photo annual. Congrats!Quote:

Anyone have a kid or sis or feeling nostalgic?
Could be a nice ride with bindings. :fm

Anyway, I'll hold onto the board for a few days if someone wants it, otherwise it's going to Staten Island or Jersey in a contractors sack.

The Cyst is a very strong indicator of maniscus damage. Just got scoped 2 eeks ago to drain one and get half my maniscus removed. Likely some maniscus damage in your knee. Also, MRIs are NOT the "case closed" diagnosis. My experience has been tht the MRI can confirm diagnosis based on other symptoms, but can also mislead. They don't know until they scope. Personally, I woud recomend scopeing as soon as possble after knee injuries. You will know 100 percent what's up, cleaning up minor damage can reduce symptoms dramatically, and recovey for a fit person is almost nil. Jiu Jistsu today, 13 days after somewhat significant scopeage. Also, knee damage starting so young for you....advice from a 40 yo....smooth, smooth, smooth. Get smooth. The clock is ticking on that limb.Quote:

The trouble with partial removals is that they initiate a series of later partial removals to even things out. 10-15 years is the usual duration of the first one for recreationalists, but subsequent "repairs" are increasingly frequent. Competetive Pro/Am/Coll athletes usually need repairs more frequently after that first one.
The result of all of that messing about in the knee is osteoarthritis...every time! Do not decieve yourself. TKR will be in the future of anyone having that first menisectomy..that is, if they push themselves and even if they do so smoothly.
Okay, that's the bad news. In between all the surgeries the athlete will be able to pursue their passion and mostly without NSAIDs.
My case is typical in terms of the knee surgeries, 1977 injury, full zipper surgery '78 and '79 were my best seasons and all the way to '88 I had very satisfactory results in my chosen pain-sport. That end point was by forced retirement, under a Chevvy the hard way...knees were working well, the new injuries did my career in.
After a three year recovery, I resumed an active recreational life, climbing/skiing/cycling. The knee required medical intervention (injections or repairs) several times and then a decade of Osteoarthritis suffering...microfracture surgery helped, but knee pain was a constant and it got worse. Then seeing Billie Jean King's story about her TKR got me going. After three excruciatingly painful months of recovery, the next three years have been rather fine..so fine I have replaced a bunch of my old climbing gear.
Surgery will start the cycle. Decide based on facts. The Docs will be constrained by ethics to tell you some of the above, but they will also want to make their living.
Think about it and then go with your decision in the most knowledgeable and intentional way you can.
FIFY. :wink:Quote:

This is a big reason I prefer touring to riding lifts. I'm approaching 40. I'm lucky to have gumby knees and ankles, but I coach high school wrestling and my body doesn't recover the way it did 10 years ago. I'm inevitably banged up for a significant portion of the ski season. I find day of touring is often a lot more conducive to nursing an injury than a day riding lifts because the number and intensity of impacts is less.Quote:

As said ^^ poor form will also cause you to use your knees for mobility during a turn.
you are them man thanks....Quote:

Can prices at local watering holes up here run from anywhere to $5 on the cheap side to around $7 for most places in the BTV area with retail for a 4 pack still at $12.99 for most with a few trying to gouge you for an extra $2. I have noticed a much larger supply at all the local outlets in the last few weeks and one local store owner to me told me he is getting approx. 25% more each week with deliveries coming in 2x per week as opposed to the typical one day before the retail shop shut down.Quote:

DaveVT - Sounds like a man with a lot of experience with knee issues and glad to hear it went so well. I can confirm that my ortho said the same thing about scoping if there is any question about meniscus damage, no way to know for sure from an mri what the full extent is until you get in there. Even worse, unlike an mcl, meniscus damage has no way of repairing itself, it will only get worse without proper repair. Quite luckily and surprisingly, he did not think I had any meniscus damage based on the mri and where I had pain...hopefully, his assessment was on target and I will not have any lingering issues.
Robrox - Would love to see Lawson's expand and do some canning but don't count on it, not his philosophy or ambition from what I seen/read. Something about the name Sean/Shaun and brewing prowess I guess.
