Every year, thousands of skiers will sustain a knee injury, cutting their season short. While some are caused by unavoidable accidents, some injuries can be prevented. Preparation, mindfulness, and a proactive approach can make all the difference between a day on the slopes and an unforeseen trip to the emergency room.
The medial cruciate ligament (MCL) and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) are the most prone to injuries when skiing. These ligaments contribute to the stabilization of the knee, and can become compromised in high-speed/high-impact sports such as skiing.

The crushing series of atmospheric rivers brought emergency conditions that tested the basin, but when it came down to it, we saw people and agencies digging in to help one another dig out.
