Skiing gives us indescribable excitement and adrenaline, but at the same time, accidents are possible, and they do occur.
According to a study conducted by an Andorran insurance company this year, more than a third of the ski lovers surveyed were injured. Of the 4544 people, 19% had fractures and sprains, while the other 19% suffered from cuts and bruises. This is my post about:
So, how to minimize the risk of injury?
Are you fully prepared?
This is an obvious question some people forget to ask themselves before going to the ski resort. Heart problems, weak knees and being in a low physical condition means that skiing is not for you.

If you are traveling in a group that includes beginners and intermediate-level skiers, then choose places with “blue” and “red” tracks, as well as more complicated “black” ones, so that everyone can choose a slope corresponding to their level.
FOLLOW THE “10 REQUIREMENTS” OF THE INTERNATIONAL SKI FEDERATION!
The International Ski Federation (FIS) has developed ten rules of conduct for skiers and snowboarders around the world. They are designed to ensure your safety.
