 Poster: A snowHead
|
NatalieG That's great news . Hopefully you will be fine to ski too . You will know yourself if you are up to skiing on the day. If you are you should get a very good idea after the first few turns as to whether it will be problematic or not and can just build from there . Pain is really a good indicator as when to stop!
Worst case there are lots of other things you can do in the mountains like snowshoeing ,Langlauf or just reading a book whilst eating and drinking nice things !
Good luck and I hope you have a great time.

NatalieG, If everyone was skiing only with their knees being 100% perfect there would be way less people on slopes. Good luck!

Isnt that the truth! The last time I went skiing I could actually ski in less pain than I could walk, until just after lunch when clearly my muscle became tired and stopped doing their job so well and I had to stop completely and go and soak in the bath. Still it was that or not go at all.

Thanks holidayloverxx! James was great. My knee is quite sore today after the exercises we did in the session but I think that it is just stiff from the work-out! There's certainly no other explanation for my stiff calves. Now I just have to keep doing up the exercises at home....

Well, I made it! Not my finest week's skiing by a long way, but no incidents or injuries resulting from my knee or otherwise so that's good. I plan to up my fitness again for next year and hopefully do some more sessions at Hemel with Inside Out between now and then, and hopefully I will be back where I should be after that. A lovely week in the mountains anyway!
