I'll be going skiing for my first time soon. I hurt my wrist
this summer. It's 98% fine now. But when I rotate my wrists,
my left wrist is a tad tighter than my right one. And I fear if
I fall on my left wrist again, it'll get hurt easily. Should I
wear a pair of gloves with wrist guards inside for my first ski
trip?

What if I go snowboarding? Also first time.

Wrist guards are fairly common for boarders. I've never seen them on a
skier, but I don't see any reason why they'd be a problem.

The more important thing is to learn how to fall - don't try to catch
yourself by putting your hand out, that's how you break wrists and
thumbs (speaking from experience here...). DO try to land on your hip,
which can take a good solid hit without breaking.
