A good friend suffers from severe osteoarthritis in her right ankle and would like to get back into skiing. The condition is from a fracture of the tibia about 25 years ago which has left her with almost no cartilage in the ankle. The long term recommendation is fusion but she's not opting to go there now.
She has been a skier in her lifetime and did minimal skiing in the last 10 years on older equipment.
I'm wondering if starting over again with some PMTS-based lessons would be a good thing and not make her condition worse or cause pain while skiing. She's enthusiastic to get back into it and in great physical shape otherwise.
The ankle looks a bit deformed and swollen so boot fit might be critical too.
Any thoughts would be appreciated, thanks.
