Can you ski with stitches?
Well, it depends. How long have you had stitches? And where? if you got them 6 days ago then probably not. I mean you can but what I'm trying to point out is you shouldn't. You should ask your doctor what you should do. If you got stitches in you cranium or your femur. Then you shouldn't. You should stay in bed and rest. If you ski and fall, it could damage your head. Mostly if the injury was found in your tarsals or your femur then you really shouldn't. THANKS

How long should stitches be in?
The Doctor Who put them in will be able to best judge how long they need to be left in, but on average stitches on the face should be left in for 3-5 days, stitches on the body or scalp 7-10 days, and stitches on extremities 10-14 days. When a stitch is put in on a joint like the elbow or knee, the wound will take longer to heal and stitches should be left in for a full two weeks. Stitches being left in for too long risk infection and painful extraction and stitches removed too soon can result in the wound opening up again.
