I tore my ACL last March so I will be skiing with a brace this season, but I have pretty weak knees so I was thinking about skiing with a brace on my other knee also to protect against fucking it up. Anybody out there recommend that? My doctor says it wont help but I cant see why it wouldnt help

Just be careful. My friend broke his femur in the halfpipe at Squaw and we think it was because the brace didn't let his mcl tear.
