two years ago i had a cast on my arm and would just put a big mitten on it and go ski. just wrap it in something warm and you should be good to go.

I been skiin w a cast on my wrist since Wednesday--doesn't bother me much except I had trouble holding onto my pole with that hand-so I ditched my poles--competed VTO slopestyle w no poles--the only thing is make sure you don't get it wet, obviously--I had to get a pair of XL mittens to fit it-works out. -lj

Just got my cast off for a broken bone in the thumb. I was fine even holding the pole and I didn't ski with any more caution then usual. I actually once saw a guy skiing with a full arm cast and a sling and it made me feel better about skiing with my cast.

its not that bad. Personally, i dont carry a pole in that hand, cuz its a bitch to grab a pole and your ski with limited hand functions.

also, be careful when you fall not to outstreach your fingers, you will break em.

Yeah dude, Ive skied with a broken arm before. It's no big deal. You can use poles or not depending if you want to hold them or not. No worries.

youve never skier with a collar bone before? you dont know what your missing. it makes it so much easier to grab, you can actually move your arms.

get a big glove from lost property, then tape your pole into your hand, that worked for me.

wrap your case in seran wrap, thats what i did
and ski without poles, you'll rebreak your arm and cast if you plant a pole wrong with it

I skied with a full arm cast and didn't affect my skiing much, Now whenever I rotate my wrist my wrist makes a poping noise.
