Looks like there will be lots of choices available for this weekend.  I'm thinking I will go Friday, Saturday, and maybe even Sunday.  Don't know where yet.  Who else is interested?

i mostly snowboard, but i ski a little too, mostly with my son.

i think snowboarding is easier on the knees than skiing.

what did you do to your knee anyhow?

It now bothers me from time to time and it's not worth risking further injury.

snowboarding is definitely worth risking injury.

Not for me.  When it last got real messed up it lock on me at a 90 degree angle.   NOT fun.  Plus, when my knees hurt I can't ride a bike.

hmmm...

On the snowboard you are locked in with both feet, so I don't quite understand how you did that.
If you got bad knees though, I wouldn't suggest skiing to take it easier on 'em... cuz it's not.

If you really wanted to do it there are ways to figure it out.  Have you considered a hinged knee brace?
