Curious how you ol' cats keep the knees in tip-top skiin' shape.

Tanks. I use glucosamine, yoga (though not necessarily for my knees),
and a steady workout schedule to keep my joints strong.

I also make it a point to always fall forwards when skiing. And I
don't do huge air. Except when I fart.

I just skied them into shape. At 55 they hurt like hell sometimes now
but I don't know if there was anything I could do about that. I
tweeked them a couple of times but never got a serious injury. I skied
with my bindings on 10.5 and skied pretty much everything, all the
time.

I set mine to 4.5 and broke ribs by falling on one of them. Not fair.

My knees are NOT in tip-top shape. One is
missing an ACL (mountain biking) and the
other has some meniscus damage. In an x-ray
it looks like bone-on bone but next to no
arthritis. The key is keeping leg muscles
honed so they can take up the slack the
(67 year old) knees need to function.

Bike riding.
Cable water skiing (I live in South Florida)
Squats

Went jogging last week and popped my right knee. Had an MRI done,
waiting for the results. This has me bummed. I need to work out but
my knee is still sore.
I'm going to Park City December 5th. No more running for me.
I'll stick to bike riding and cable water skiing.
