In this episode of The Motion Lab, PA Chuck Dowell sits down with orthopedic surgeons to break down the most common ski and snowboard injuries seen in Colorado clinics. They dive into why skiers tend to experience lower-body injuries while snowboarders see more upper-body trauma, how experience level and terrain play a role, and what actually increases your risk on the slopes.
The conversation also covers when to seek medical care, how to safely return to skiing after surgery or injury, and practical tips for prevention—from strength training and fatigue management to proper equipment setup. Whether you’re a weekend skier or hitting the mountain all season, this episode gives you real-world insights to stay safe and perform your best.
