Byronn, sorry to hear about your leg surgery...other than shin padding, the only though I'd have...don't get into any chopped up or hard icy snow conditions...cause for sure that's when more pressure is used to drive the shovels.

Also, try and feel like your skiing more upright with only slight fore and aft movements...so when standing in your boots, in your ski stance, arms held out as if holding your poles, make sure you feel very centered in your boot. Equal pressure on the shin and rear cuff of the boot...feeling like your stacked straight up and down above your arch.

As for Whistler....just don't go when temps warm up in March...cause rain, fog and sleet may be ever present. The skiing experience is fantastic in good conditions. The tram goes from mountain to mountain...just fantastic views. No car is needed...take the bus up, find accomodations within walking distance of the gondola and all will be great.

Wishing you quick healing and a great ski season...G
