Cancel ski holiday? Injury

We have a ski holiday in a month. I've injured myself, can't ski anymore. Non-refundable in large part. It's a group holiday with friends so I would literally be sat in a ski lodge all by myself 8am-5pm every day, for a full week. DH can still ski so he's keen to go, he says it'll still be fun for me in the evenings (I think that's ridiculous). The trip cost a lot of money, probably our last ski holiday for a while. No, I'm not the kind to be happy about sitting by myself all day with a book while my friends go have fun and I sit around waiting for them all day. AIBU to say to DH we shouldn't go anymore? It'll be absolute misery for me. At least if we don't go, we save money otherwise spent on ski passes, rental and all the bars and restaurants. Am I being unfair?

I would stay at home and let him enjoy it. Gutted for you; I love skiing, haven't been for 6 years and about to go in Feb but so nervous one of the four of us will get injured beforehand - my daughter is really prone to ankle injuries when walking/dancing pissed.
Honestly I know so many couples who sometimes have to holiday separately for childcare and other reasons, even if they do both enjoy the activity. Same as having separate evenings out from time to time.
Are you sure you're not covered by insurance? I took mine out the other day so any disasters before we go will at least give me something back.
