Skis

Hi all. I have just done all the ligaments in my knee and am hoping to return next season!
I own a pair of Xwing 170's and I'm pondering what ski type may be a little gentler for my return to skiing! I am planning on staying on-piste next season!
Anyone got any suggestions?

if youre not skiing this year just look in the sales at the end of the season and demo some different ones-ellis brighams sell off their end of year demo skis and they are usualyl in good nick-i already have my eye on the pair of kung fujas in glasgow for the sales!!

Thanks - It is size and type I am having a problems with, but i will have a sniff about in the sales!

nasty :cry:
best of luck with the recovery.

Thanks.

I don't really know anything but I'd go for something a little shorter and a bit more forgiving. Maybe a 162 and a ski lower down the range.

OTOH, if you get in to your rehab there is no reason you can't come back as strong as ever and get back on the Tornado's.

Thanks. I think the Tornado's may be a little stiff but who knows!!
Most people I've talked to seem to think going shorter and softer may be better.
I have plenty of time on my hands to do some research!

I tend to find lots of alcohol can often assist with that.
