I don't think that there are too many Gypos that go skiing :mrgreen:

Also getting cartlidge work done a few weeks after i come home from skiing.
Can anyone advise me if im going to be in much pain? Was able to stick it last year but will i be on blues and reds or how will i fair up? and yes im going skiing :)

Being an 'old git' new skier my knee problem was/is degenerative arthritis (old age) and last November I could hardly walk or bend my right knee. I followed a course of muscle strengthening exercises and went on an already booked week to St Anton in January. I feared the worst and expected this to be my last ever trip. My thighs ached, my calves ached, my back ached, my shoulders ached, but not a twinge from the knee. So I cracked in another 'last trip', to Sauze d'Oulx last week. Again no knee pain. So this week I am going to the doc to see if he will prescribe me a monthly ski trip on the NHS as a cure for my arthritis - reckon I'll get away with it ??

There is nothing wrong with being an old git,we should start an old git club :thumbup:

I guess i'm not an aggressive enough skier to get any injuries, I think I am touching wood, I do put it down to being quite a sporty person over the years and knowing how to fall. :mrgreen:
