Depends on the level of the concussion..

I played rugby in college, so with that, skiing, and DH bikin I've had like 11...

If it is one of your first, just be very careful, and wear a helmet.. Try to avoid Mach speeds as well..

i would say, its all going to depend on how you feel. if you feel 100% normal then go ski. but obviosly still take it easy

If you were out cold for 10 minutes i bet that was atleast a level 3. I had a level 3 once and i was trippin for like 5 days. I couldn't have skied if i wanted to. Don't you feel fucked up?

10 MINUTES!!!!!!!! you could have died... ive had two both considered serious and i was out for like 10 seconds MAX on both of them.. and if you get a second concussion withtin the two week period your chances of going brain dead are higher than not.
