ACL Tears

I have a question regarding exercise after ACL tears. I'm in the middle of a debate with a friend on which exercise is better for a person who has had acl reconstruction on both knees about 2 years ago. Would you recommend Cross Country Skiing or snowshoeing for a person who has torn their ACL? Also, Do you think it's just as easy to tear your ACL snowboarding as it is skiing? Another debate.

Thank you,
Kelly Mahoney

Silicone inserts leave radius and ulna pressure-free and provide intermittent compression to the soft tissue of the joint, leading to increased circulation, thus aiding in the resorption of swelling and edema.
