Hi Caron-a It does seem that that around 40 us skiers seem to go a bit soft on the knees, I am 42 now!

Pablo hells Kitchen sounds interesting where is that situated? near wild west?

Thanks Trencher, hopefully my knees won't pop out whilst hurling down Goats eye at a vast rate of knots next week!!!

I am getting even more concerened about my knees. Never had any issues before and in the last month or two I am feeling a slight twinge in both knees going down stairs or getting out of the car etc.( god don't I sound old)

Because I have never had this before I am worried that it will affect my skiing ??

any advice?

OK will do,thanks TH

mmmm so now I am 42 at the end of the ski day, in the bar having a beer the manufacturers expect the conversation to be "oooo my knees are killing me and my back hurt's, I need a chair and get me a hot bath dear"

;-)

Thanks I will probably give them ago at 4.5 and monitor it.

Incedently what has age got to do with it? :?:

Of course, age 42 (which is just out of my thirties and absolutely light years away from 50) and boot length can't remember but boot size is 10.5

I have my new ski's now and when the ski shop fitted the bindings they set the DIN to 4.5, after reading the thread I am concerened it may be a bit low??

Weight 15 st kitted out with rucksack etc, ski's 172 long, height 6ft ski style: aggressive.

Should the DIN be higher???

How will I know, will it be when I get off the first lift at the top Goats eye and find out that my boots keep popping out?

Should I carry a screwdriver in your bag?? I thought about this bit seems a little dangerous?
