Not a bad price, but still not cheap enough for me to consider, the cheapest I have seen them on line is £360 with bindings.

I use knee supports on both knees, but I am thinking about changing to those bands that go round underneath the knee, they are supposed to stop knee pain.
The only tip I can give you is try to turn light and control the amount of pressure that you put on the knee 8)

I went to passo a few years ago very short runs a real up and down place, we spent most of our time there down the road at Ponti legno where the runs are a tad harder so it is not a place for Intermediates and above unless you don't mind jumping on the bus down the valley to Madonna, I found the hotel we stayed in to be very good.

Thanks Wickers....I have been before and totally agree....but as it is free!!!! it seemed foolish to turn it down...Not looking forward to the coach journey though! :(

Blimey mate ...Free .... I'd certainly go again if it is free :thumbup:

Well at a bleary eyes glance I thought that was an Austrian posting a reply. B) until I realised that was an attempt at a Yorkshire accent. Nice. Try a welsh one next Ian!! Lots if "boyo" "sheep" etc. lol
In all seriousness though, the snow is back in Austria this week. About a foot has fallen already and more on its way. It was looking dodgy when we left.
