I finally got my cast removed for good yesterday, and boy does it ever feel good to walk without that monstrosity stuck to my foot. My ankle's still a little sensitive, but it's more or less completly healed. Will I be skiing again? Yes, although maybe not if this weird weather keeps up. Just last week, we got something like 30 cm of snow and it was pretty cold, and yet today, January 7th, we're expecting a VERY mild high of 8 degrees ( celsius, not farenheit). Usually, around this time of year, we have some of the coldest days of the year at -30/-35. Global warming... who knew?
