Knee braces for skiing

was fooling around in the little park at Sunshine and somehow tore my “good knee/acl” doing a god damn 180. I’d tore the acl and lcl on my “bad” knee three years ago and have it braced up with a $400 brace I got off Amazon that doesn’t fit quite right. Anyone know any good companies to buy braces from online or in Alberta?

I’ve had surgery to fix the ACL, LCL on one knee I’ve never skied with it torn. Today I think I tore the ACL on the other knee for the first time

This brace is way better than both of the semi custom "prescription" knee braces I got after both my ACL surgeries. And for like $50, significantly cheaper too.
