I'd hate to mess my knees up, with all the yoga I practice.. Well, good luck roping in those people who don't aspire to become yogis... ;) Heh.. this article, plus the comments made me glad I hardly ever ski.

I'm a passionate ski racer (I ski 3-4 days a week) and an avid yoga practitioner (I practice 2-3 times a week) and this is a very hard posture for alpine skiers to do. Most skiers have very bad knees and have a lot of trouble putting any weight on them. The posses I found that are good for skiing are anything that opens your hips, quards, hamstrings, lower back, and iliotibial (IT) bands. Some posses that I find that are good for these posses and easy on the knees are Halasana (plow), Salabhasana (baby backbends), Ananda Balasana (happy baby), and modified Eka Pada Kapotasana (modified pigeon pose).
