@rungsp, May I actually suggest you buy a mojo. I bought one a couple years ago and find it very good on hardpack ridges that used to really hurt my kness. You just squat down and let it take 30% of your body weight direct from your arze to your boots. What resort are you in?

@rungsp, book a lesson? When I went back after my last knee op, I started OK, went onto a steeper, icier run and suddenly lost all confidence and went into panic. Got myself down in went to a cafe for drink something aith sugar in! Then spoke to ski school when I met my daughter from her lesson and they fitted me in with an over lunch 2hr lesson. Helped no end

@rungsp, sounds like you need 100ml of MTFU.
Only joking. Mojo loss can happen to the best of us. I lost mine briefly in 2022 when I took a wrong turn and ended up at the top of a slope with a big “glace” warning at the top of it. There were no other routes down. I think it had been race prepped and was basically very steep, sheet ice.
I got down it, very slowly, and it knocked me for the remainder of the week. I was totally paranoid about ice. The next trip I spent the first day or two just lapping my favourite blues, and each run topped up my mojo a little until after 2 days, it was fully restored.

Lesson specifically targeting confidence. Though I have had some where all they are interested in is teaching perfectly carved turns, so it can really depend on the instructor.

@rungsp, I thought you literally had lost a Ski Mojo on the slopes and was thinking how tf could that happen.

@rungsp, A ski Mojo has saved my skiing life. I broke mine on day 6 of our recent holiday and after 2 runs the old knee was screaming and I bailed.
Many mornings I wouldn't feel it, but skied easy, flowing runs and soon got back into the rhythm.

@rungsp, nothing wrong with packing in and moving on to something you might actually enjoy. If it isn’t fun do something which is. Lots of other great activities out there.

A blow from a chairlift (one of those lifts where you need to stand in front of your friends) broke one of the carbon fibre rods on my OH's Mojo. The very jagged broken edge dug into his calf muscle a bit. As soon as we got off the chair (an easy level run off, thankfully) we had to stand on the edge when I groped up the leg of his trousers and retrieved the broken bits. I got some funny looks but explained that I was looking for my husband's Mojo. The whole thing then began to fall down so I ended up carrying it all home.

I lost the hip band/seat of my Mojo in an Onsen in Japan and only realised when I opened the bag on the next trip in Les Arcs. I just walked into the ski shop 100m from my apartment and ordered another. The shop loaned me a spare until the new one was delivered. @Frosty the Snowman, spares are readily available.

@pam w, A good story. It would be even funnier if you were groping down from the top of his trousers. Or perhaps not.
