Mail for help.Help!!
Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

I've decided my tele turns are definitely lots weaker with my reconstructed ACL knee in the lead. My primary mechnical problem is that I'm just not getting that knee far enough forward (so I get a angled shin/weight on BOF) or alternatively that I'm sitting too backseat on the "stronger" rear knee.

Quick fix remedies as internally yelling at myself doesn't seem to be helping?

Could be better as always if you listen to the Warren Smith school of thought but not zero.

fatbob, Are you back on both feet ? Is the front ski light ?

I'm definitely on my heel on the front ski so I'm not getting the benefit of driving the tip and doing the majority of my steering with the back foot. Main consequence is that it feels like I'm holding on rather than active.

fatbob, OK on the other foot ? Do you have flex issues skiing alpine ?

Shin on the front of the boot.. continuous movements throughout the turn. Try to get you front knee onto the ski. Ski in a low stance.

(lots of good stuff on that site)

actually some tellying may actually help as part of the rehab, do some straight line drops both sides (straight line just to keep it controlled, even do some standing) like you were day 1 learning again

Mrs Ski has taken to tele since she broke her second ACL.
