Laser , what binding was the wife using when she was injured? I know you switched. Just curious.
Salomon 850
I used to run nothing but Salomon bindings on all of my skis, now the whole family is pretty much all on Tyrolia(except for my AT bindings)
So, it was a driver toe. Wouldn't second guess what happened but I have adjusted a lot of Salomon with that toe piece and the wings have to be right and the toe height has to be correct including using the .05 card properly. Salomon is a great binding but it does have some "quirky" adjustments. Mine have never failed me. Sorry hers were a problem. ; {

Andy, will Vee eventually be able to have those screws removed? I only have three. The metal one I can still feel...... still gives me the woolies when I feel it.
How is she doing today? Again, give her all my best. Hope she's not in too much pain. Give her some Jaeger.

I think, and please correct me if I'm mistaken, but isn't the ankle and the knee two different parts of the leg?
NOTE: Yes, Andy, Vee has been to the same Docs as MtnMan and I have been...... GREAT practice and they know the difference between a knee and an ankle.
I can take umbrage, I can take the cake, I can take the A-train, I can take two and call me in the morning,

Doing better all the time, thanks. Starting to move around like a champ on crutches. Finally got a chance to read all the get well wishes which she truly appreciates. And she's been trying to figure out how she can get her ne boot into a binding :)
Admins, I respectfully request that you do not delete this post or me, thank you.

Wow, they're using a boot, not a hard cast even at the start? Is she allowed to take it off at all? When I did my achilles I was in a cast for about 10 days, before getting a boot for about 6 weeks or so, and it was OK to take the boot off as long as I wasn't putting any weight on the ankle. Anyway, glad things are looking up and she's starting to feel better.
