Anyone ski with them? If so what kind? I have some asterisks and was thinking of trying them for skiing

Unless you're recovering from a knee injury, I wouldn't wear one. If you're worried about keeping your knees intact, hit the gym instead. Strengthening your legs is a much better preventive measure.

this, do some pt if your really worried. If it still feels unstable use one but have a brace your last resort

I have dislocated my right knee twice so if I do anything active I have to wear a brace. When my knee isn't bothering me I wear one like this:
