Fr-ce Press photo Skiing is the fastest growing sport in Canada teday. In the last 30 years cross-country skiing. downhill skiing, and most recently, helicopter skiing have caught the enthusiasm cf young and not-so-rich. Since skiing first became popular it has spawned an annual crop cf injuries. In thc early years, most injuries in- volved feet and ankies; the low, soft- leather boot womn by downhill pioneers gave littie support or protection in fails. And the treachereus conditions cf ungroomed trails gave plenty cf oppor- tunities for tumbles. These days, techniques and equip- ment have improved se much that the numnber of injuries have net kept pace with the phenomenal increase in the mber of skiers. However, the types cf injuries have changed. Today, mere skicrs arrive in physicians' offices witb knee, shoulder and hand problems. These resuit in* art from the increased speed at whic skiers move down groomed siopes, and in part from the safety straps on poles that somne skiers use, and which, if the pole gets stuck in the snow or in a tree, can cause a nasty wrench te the hand and shoulder. There are some simple precautions' that skiers can observe te avoid injury: 1. Get f it firstsoyou don't strain muscles the first day. 2. Check'all your equip- ment at the start cf each season, and check release bindings every momning. 3. Use poles with hand guards or re- lease mechanisms rather than safety straps. 4. Stick te his you can manage: beginners who have launched off oit siopes beyond their skills fermn a large proportion of the casualties seen by physicians. 5. Read the signs at the base cf the hili se, you know how te, summon the ski patrel, where the first aid hut is. 6. Don't ski ater miner injuries; the next injury may be caused or coin- pounded by the first one which you didn't take seriously. A few tessons tromn a professional will make an enorinous différence te, beginners, enabling them te acquire techniques and confidence that wilI prevent themn coming te, grief.
