What a great week! + pics by KUDA

Hi Guys, yes I am back & thanks for all the PM's tonight..... logged in & got swamped
Well for a brief outline of the ski holiday, we were staying at Charlotte Pass (first time at this location) in a chalet 20 mtr's from the triple chair lift, farkin awesome place & not crowded at all, I think the longest wait to get up the slopes was 2 minutes.
Had fantastic weather (except 1 day) with plenty of fresh snow at the beginning of the week & minimal complaints from the kiddies. On day three I ended up twisting my right leg at the knee & was out for the rest of that day but managed a comeback after the all clear from the local doctor a day later. seems I have sprained my knee & luckily after getting an ice pack on it straight away the swelling wasn't too bad....... well that was then .....but now after another day of skiing yesterday it looks pretty bad with lots of fluid present but I can still get around on it so it should be ok in a few weeks. this is the third time I have damaged this knee so I might have to get it looked at soon to see what permanent damage may be present.
Going to try riding tomorrow but it seems that I cant bend it too well so I will have to wait & see.
I will post up pics later when I have sorted them out

I wondered why the post count dropped for a week.


seee .... skiing is dangerous !

Sounds like you had a great time Rob, hope the knee is better soon.

Welcome back Rob

Hopefully you havn't done your ACL took me six months to be 100% after I got mine done mid last year

Bugger about the knee!

Hope it feels ok for a ride tomorrow - I can't wait to hear all about your trip And see the pics when you get around to it

Welcome back Rob.
Apart from the knee sounds like you had a ball.

mate bad news about the knee. Glad to see your back safe though

Must fill me in on the action when we catch up

good to hear you had fun and weather was good, bad about your knee. Motorbikes arnt that dangerous afterall hehe......

Welcome back rob
see you tomorrow , knee permiting of coarse.

Sounds like a great holiday Rob

too bad about that knee

good to hear you and family had a good time not good news on the knee though hope all goes well hopefully see you at the pits tomorrow,,,,cheers paul

Sounds like was a sweet, sweet holiday man miss skiing but alas yes knees are a problem area for that sport, if I went again would severelly have to strap mine up, and not that i have done any crucial ligament but my knee cap tracking is shot, you'll find you will probably just have to strap it in future as it may have a weakness like you said, not so much any permanent bad damage. Hopefully see you tomoz. Dizzi.
