❄️ Ski Smart. Ski Strong. Stay on the Slopes! 🎿
Whether you’re carving turns downhill or gliding the trails Nordic-style, a little preparation goes a long way in preventing injuries.
At our clinic, we love seeing our community active all winter long — here are our top ski injury prevention tips:
✅ Warm Up First – Spend 5–10 minutes activating your glutes, quads, hamstrings, and core.
✅ Use Proper Gear – Ensure boots fit properly, bindings are adjusted correctly, and helmets are worn for downhill skiing.
✅ Condition Before the Season – Strength, balance, and cardiovascular training reduce fatigue-related injuries.
✅ Know the Terrain – Match the hill or trail difficulty to your ability level. Be mindful of icy patches, narrow trails, and changing weather conditions.
✅ Ski in Control – Stay within your limits and be aware of others around you. Fatigue increases risk — take breaks!
Whether you're heading to Ski Martock, Wentworth, or your favourite Nordic trails, preparation is key to enjoying a safe and strong ski season.
