    Leg-Length Discrepancy Fixes

    Back in ’89, I broke my right tib/fib. I fell at Hunter, slid through a wood snow fence, and over some vertical terrain. I sat up at the bottom with my legs straight out in front of me, thinking how lucky I was to not have been hurt; that was when my right Sollie SX91 flopped over. Happily...

    Concussion Recovery

    As many of you know, I was hit by a snowboarder in January and sustained a mild concussion and whiplash. I managed the recovery and thought I was through it.

    Stem cell injections for the knees

    Best Ski Crash Photos

    We all do it. We try not to, but no matter how skilled of a skier you may be, you are going to take a fall at some point. While some crashes can be painful and serious, most are harmless and rather funny. I've seen spectacularly graceful falls as well as spectacularly awkward falls. Post...
