It is critical to understand how to avoid some of these injuries. Knee injuries such as anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) or the medial collateral ligament (MCL) happen very often and can be severe. These knee injuries happen when a skier is not perfectly balanced during a ski or a fall. To avoid ruptures in these ligaments, maintain proper landing and balance when skiing. Back injuries, as well as muscle injuries, are also common in the sport. Collisions and heavy lifting are common causes of these injuries. The best way to avoid these is to make sure your body is adequately prepared and flexible by strengthening your core and leg muscles. Additionally, there are many other preventive measures to avoid common skiing injuries. Before taking on the snow, you should always remember to properly prepare by staying fit and warming up before every trip. It is also important to take ski lessons and understand the safety rules. You should also select ski routes according to your skill level to avoid going on runs that might cause injuries.
