[QUOTE="some_might_say, post: 124218"] i was the opposite, rugby being my first sport, skiing being my 2nd (possibly 3rd) i injured my knee playing rugby and havent been able to ski for 4 years, however this is down to my own inepptitude by not getting my knee sorted straight away, therefore the problem got worse. hopefully all sorted now and the doc reckons i could be skiing b next year. i reckon that as your obviously a keen skiier your knees and legs in general should be quite strong therefore you may be less likely to suffer from the sort of injury that someone with less well developed legs would have. and if you did happen to injure yourself i recommend going to the doctors straight away rather than trying to be a hard ******* and just leaving it for a week or two, cos in the long term it just makes things worse, for example my cruciate ligament is now 20% longer than it should be because i played when it was damaged and stretched it over and over again to a point of permanent stretchedness. join a team and get stuck in, and try not to conciously think about your knees whilst your playing, youl end up trying to protect them and only be half the player you could be.
