[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up going to ski school and was a pretty good skier and could get up to Black Diamond. HOWEVER, I have since torn an ACL and now I am terrified to get back on skis, even though I love it. I am wondering if I can try cross country skiing as that seems less hard on the knees. Does anyone know?[/quote] If you love(d) it, and were a good skier, fear not. Discuss with your orthopedic surgeon, and get back on the slopes with any prep they recommend. There’s likely no reason you have to abandon your beloved sport! Like you, I skied, then tore my ACL during a different sport, then got back on the slopes a few years after that. If you have residual instability there are things to do to prepare and wear. You can do this, and have no knee pain and no issues at all! [/quote]
