Has anyone had real experience with skii mountaineering with an artificial hip where they can honestly say that the new hip will hold up to the demands of skii mountaineering? I am not looking for literature research but feedback from someone with one or more artificial hips that kept skii mountaineering after the surgery. Thinking allowed.....
