My bro-in-law was a Team GB mogul skier 20 years ago - it wasn't the knees but groin injuries that plagued most of them.

You've actually met him.........

Every bit of general advise I've read suggests spinning a highish cadence works best for knees. As ever there will be loads of exceptions to that rule.
with regard to mogul skiing, I wonder how many of those competitors will still be competing in a over 40's class.

I might, have but as you know your family tree is very complex, and I couldnt tell you who your brother in law is, although I have my suspicions he's not the current one.
