“Just because you have asthma doesn’t mean you can’t ski, snowboard or play sports. Asthma should not hold you back from what you love doing.” - Jake Cohn, professional free-style skier.

Jake is correct! People with asthma should not fear skiing or other winter related activities if their asthma is well-controlled.

Dr. William Silvers, MD, advises skiers with asthma to:
• Use a bronchodilator albuterol inhaler 15 minutes before skiing
• Warm up for 15-20 minutes before skiing
• Pace yourself on the slopes
• Wear a mask or scarf over their mouth and nose to help warm and moisten the dry air
• Monitor symptoms during skiing

It is important to remember these tips for the next time you want to hit the slopes! To read more about skiing with asthma, visit: https://allergyasthmanetwork.org/news/skiing-believing-managing-asthma-the-slopes/

Anaphylaxis is a serious allergic reaction that typically comes on quickly and may cause death. This medical emergency requires immediate treatment and then follow-up care by an allergist / immunologist. Many people may not realize they have an allergy until they experience anaphylaxis. An allergist can examine you and make a proper diagnosis. If warranted, your doctor will prescribe injectable epinephrine to use in an emergency.
