I, for one, believe that tipping wider skis exerts proportionately more leverage on the boot, and that the boot exerts that leverage on the lower leg, and that the lower leg exerts that pressure on the knee. 

Having said that, I will say that I never had any feelings of knee pains while skiing wide skis this year, but my biking has my legs in better shape than in several years.
