What a great week! + pics by KUDA

Postby robracer » Sat Jul 18, 2009 8:55 pm

Hi Guys, yes I am back & thanks for all the PM's tonight..... logged in & got swamped :lol:
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 8)

Welcome back Rob.
Apart from the knee sounds like you had a ball.
If you have no fear, you're not going fast enough.

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. :kuda:
