On the bumpy/skied out snow I could feel my leg was a little "wobbly" and I felt sometimes I would compensate with my other leg but this is definitely due to the muscle tone not being all there yet.
It sounds like you were/are a bit ahead of me in terms of leg strength, ect. and I wish I was a bit farther in my recovery... still, being able to ski pretty comfortably on trail @ 7 months is nice... The last month or two I have slowed down a bit on rehab and I hope to step it up again. I'm going to try and get up to the mountain around once a week and continue to see how it feels... After today I feel like I'll be pretty good on any groomed blues which is fine with me until it gets stronger.
