What's more important is that the equipment we use can make or break our experience when it comes to skiing. Skiing is a good way to enjoy the outdoors during the winter time, offering a mix of views, fresh air and exercise, as well as adrenaline.

]]> Comment on Powder skiing made easy – the joys of the Ski Mojo by Suzy Small http://www.purepowder.com/blog/powder-skiing-made-easy-the-joys-of-the-ski-mojo/#comment-2551 Suzy Small Tue, 20 Dec 2011 13:17:16 +0000 http://www.purepowder.com/blog/?p=15#comment-2551 Thanks for your comment Elaine - although Pure Powder and Ski Mojo can't give medical advice and would recommend speaking to your doctor and physio, most people feed back that they no longer bother with knee supports as the mojo is now a hinged knee support. Some people do still use a “Brace” if it’s the Carbon fibre type if it's recommended by their doctor, but the new mojo just wraps over any other knee product (they only need to do up the lower strap for the mojo to work -the top one can be left undone), making it much easier to use!

I have since upgraded but have not as yet used it. I had one total knee replacement this summer and hope to get out later in the season. I too use knee braces, one carbon fibre and one hinged knee skin, but how can you use both the mojo and a brace or do you pick and choose days to wear one or the other? Any advice gratefully received!! I too have had years of knee trouble and tried the old skimojo but found it too cumbersome, difficult to put on and way too big to go under my normal ski stuff.

Eventually I had both total knee replacements and after 7 months was skiing again. I used braces and the first version of SkiMojo to get me up and running. When the new SkiMojo was introduced I tried these and they are easy to fit and comfortable. My knees are unloaded and I dont have any issues skiing again. I am skiing powder and bumps and the greater carving edge control caused by the Mojo mechanism pushing down is really noticeable. I still alternate between Braces and Mojo depending on how tired I feel and the terrain. I discovered that when I had unstable knees, the braces were more beneficial as it provided greater protection from twisting injury (no longer an issue, but still feel I want protection). When I wanted to unload the knee and ski for long periods the Mojos were great. If you`re light like me and you down unweight the skis in bumps or difficult terrain, the Mojos take more effort because it is harder to retract the heels. But they are effortless to up unweight. My advice (for what its worth) is to use both braces and Mojos depending on the terrain, duration of skiing, your own skiing style and physical limitations.
