Elbow pain from skiing? was created by Larry_R
Just curious about how many TAYers have suffered from epicondylitis ('tennis elbow') related to BC skiing. What set if off and what were your experiences with the problem?

I have a few thoughts on the subject which I might post later.

I got bad tennis elbow one of my first years doing a lot of touring. I think it was from using my arms too much when skinning. Now I stay balanced a lot better and use my arms less. Haven't had elbow problems again.

I had it, but from a combination of activities from skiing, biking, kayaking and work. I've tried to be easier on myself when it crops up. That and stretch more. Shorten your ski poles and use them less :)
