My problems my knees - they only allow me 1/2 day of full on
boarding these days before I have to take it a little easier!
(next holiday is planned for NZ next August so plenty of time to
get them seen to!)


Good luck. I know a particularly attractive seasonaire who'll be in
NZ in August.

Is boarding harder or easier on the knees do you think?

Tendonitis in my knee made me stop playing football a few years ago
and it flares up if I do much running, but to my eternal joy and
amazement it doesn't seem to mind skiing at all. Phew.

If that's the same thing as Cyclist's knee, then yes I suffer too.
Used to often go cycling 100+ miles a day, apparently I overused my
knees. It does cause problems at times on long walks, but like you
it never causes a problem
skiing.

I only tried snowboarding twice, in the days before soft boot. But
the second time my knees didn't like it. Maybe Cupra should switch
to skiing?


Everyone should switch to skiing.

Was on a chairlift in Morzine last week trying to work out the
boarder/skier ratio. It was easy to do as generally, all the people
moving were skiers and all the people boarding were sat down
somewhere in the middle of the piste.
It was roughly around 20:1.

It's opposite off piste where the real fun is
