2 years ago I deleted my shoulder, broke it in 2 places, torn the rotator cuff, severed the bicep tendon and shredded the labrum.  Surgery and 9 months of PT before I was back skiing.  I'm not quite back to where I was but I'm 65 and things heal slowly.  I do use a power test, but I take the dowels out so that I can release quickly.  Unfortunately I just slipped in my wood shop and tore my knee and tibia so I'm out commission for a while.  PT is the most important thing!!!!

Wait until you see the Ortho.  There can be real damage that the ER did not see.  I dislocated and broke the shoulder.  Later discovered the rotator cuff was torn as well as a torn labrum and severed bicep tendon.  ER only deals with the urgent things

My suggestion is to print out that section of their rules and bring it with you.  It shuts down arguments at check in.  I have done that in the past and it works.

On June 1 I put my arm through the handle. Broken and dislocated shoulder. Surgery on June 11. Completely torn rotary cuff, broken shoulder, turn bicep tendon and another rotator tendon shredded. I've been doing PT since and was just told to start back to the gym. Dr originally said no skiing until 12 months. I just negotiated with him to start free skiing with 2 skis starting in Jan, and move slowly to free slalom after a couple of months and then course skiing by May. I am religious about the PT and he knows it. It's a very long and frustrating process. I am 64 so healing is slower.

I can only say I love my Powervest

Anybody have ideas on how to make the slide action smoother? I heard people discuss it but I can`t seem to find the post

I have heard other Power vest users mold the back plate to better fit the curve of their back. Details on temp and time and technique would be appreciated.

Let me know if you need a place to stay in Orlando. I have a rental close to 5 different ski schools.

Just about every tool known to man but thus year I dropped 2 7/16 " wrenches about 10 min apart. Right at my feet and the super magnet couldn't find them a week later

Buy a spare or 2 new tires! I bought a 3 year old boat and trailer back in 2012. 30 minutes into a 6 hour drive I blew a trailer tire. Not fun. No garages open in Ohio on a Sunday. Good thing for a well stocked WalMart

You can buy endoscope that connects to your phone at Amazon for about $20. You can look behind things really well with them

Sailworks, I am a long time PV user. Details on your mods would be helpful! Photos maybe?

We can't ski here in Rochester because of flooding. Probably another month before they release the now rule. Our pond is connected to Lake Ontario with record flooding

Try a Goode Powervest. Expensive but worth it

No Lync system on mine. I added a rotary switch to the panel near the shift lever. Found power under the dash. Boat is in storsto now so I can't see where I pulled it from.

 

I installed mine on the divider between the driver's seat and the passenger seat (passenger side). That gives you shirs runs for the heater hoses to either area

About April 12th

Check out the rental section of SIA. I gave a rental in Orlando but I'm using it until about April

I've skied on and off there for a couple of years. Great place and people.

LaPoint ski park us also clise

Several years ago I was in FL looking for a winter home in 5 different cities with the plan to ski at the closest ski school to where I was looking. My first stop was a house at Wish`s lake. He was gracsious enough to take me out for a set. Just as I pulled in for the gates, the ski turned into a helicopter blade and I was spinning around. As I came up, I immediately felt the back if my ski and the fin was gone! It had come loose somehow and dropped out if my ski. Bruised several ribs and I was done skiing g for the entire trip.

Just got home after 10 days at LaPoint ski park. Great weather and conditions.

When I surface and realize my arm is pointing in the wrong direction. (Actually happened)

I agree with lpskier about the shorts. I had a new pair a couple of weeks ago and even the driver could feel the extra pull to get me up! Needless to say those shirts are now for swimming only
