To Ski or Board??? :?

I ave never been on skis so my opinion is obviously a bit unbalanced.

However from starting till now, I have never had a problem with my knees on a snowboard, I do suffer from them running however.

As Trencher mentions, you can adjust your stance to the nth degree with boarding to suit what is most comfortable and most effective. I am 190cm tall, and do not find it particulary natural to have my knees bent all day, so I set my bindings to force the issue, it's just one example of what you can do. I am not sure that I agree duck stance is naturally not a good thing. I am quite splay-footed so if I try with a positive angle on both ends I get very tired legs very quickly, therefore I ride duck (none of you will believe what my first name is :)

Anyhow, best of luck in your decision, I am sure with the right advice it will all work out!!

Funnily enough, I damaged my right knee on the way to Mayrhofen 2 weeks ago (I fell over a bin at Munich station :oops: I was having real trouble walking the first few days, but absolutely no trouble with the board strapped to my feet.

Well, I might have had one too many as I was a wee bit excited to be honest.
