Episode #127: Turning 60 And Heli Skiing After ACL Surgery (feat. Lance Thibeaux)

May 18, 2026

Podcast Shownotes

On this episode I sit down with Lance, one of my former clients, to talk about how he prepared for a major Alaska heli skiing trip after ACL surgery, meniscus repair, and years of ski related injuries.

We talk about:

✅ What skiing means to Lance and why it has become such an important family activity

✅ His injury history from shoulder separation to knee injuries and calf tears

✅ Why traditional PT helped, but did not fully prepare him for the demands of heli skiing

✅ How we calculated the demands of his trip using vertical feet and expected turns per day

If you want to keep skiing strong as you get older, Lance’s story is a great reminder that age does not have to be the thing that slows you down. With the right plan, you can prepare your body for the demands of the mountain and keep building your legacy on snow.
