I read the title I thought it was YOU taking the ladies ski lesson so glad to hear it's not but sorry about Noah. He'll be fine and it's amazing he's never been injured yet doing those crazy boardin tricks. Nearly every hard-core skier I know, including instructors, have blown out their knees big time. Some have had multiple surgeries but they just put on a brace rather than quitting. He'll have to be patient but I think he'll be out there and unfortunatley you'll have to continue worrying about his career choice. Was caught in a wild storm on snowshoes yesterday & my back is sore but I understand what he means about the freedom...I'll be back asap.
