Wasn't sure which topic to post this under, so mods feel free to move this.
I've noticed when skiing my left knee will feel sore/achey after skiing and sometimes the day after. I have a feeling it's from not having arch support (will be seeing a bootfitter and getting a proper footbed), but because I'm new I'm almost certain it's technique as well.
When I first started skiing and doing the wedge, I was twisting with my knees (my joints are pretty flexible so it was more natural for me to do that than from the hip). I haven't gotten into parallel yet so I still wedge when turning, but I've stopped twisting with my knees. I still tend to lock my knees when turning which I'm trying to stop.
The only other activity this happens is when I'm on my Peleton and it's just my left knee.
Are there any tips to help mitigate the pain?
