What NOT to do before you go on your ski holiday !!
Login
Haha, I have given up squash entirely because of snowboarding. I keep fracturing my ribs and the impact of hitting walls etc means they never heel properly, snowboarded all winter with 2 cracked ribs, bloody terrible in the morning.
your chances of being hurt are pretty much non-existent doing the activities, in risk terms you're greatest danger is from transport, roads and unsupervised water activities.
and the bad news, most kids take at least one night and often two before total exhaustion quietens them :D add altitude and it's quicker :D add trying to race me and it's around 20 minutes :D

Does anybody else think like me ??
The week before I head out for a ski trip, I start to take things a little easier, The last thing I want is an injury, before I have even hit the slopes :-(
So things I do NOT do before a trip away.
1. I do NOT go to the gym, in case I put my back out.
2. I do NOT go for that game of squash, the one that the boss has ask me to go for and if I go I know promotion is on the way, but just in cash I twist my ankle “ I say no!!”
3. I do NOT lift all them heavy cylinders( I am a scuba Instructor) in case I pull a muscle in my shoulder..
4. I do NOT run for the bus, in case I trip and smash my head open on the very bad Spanish pavements.
5. I do NOT drink so much at night, in case I fall down the stairs, AGAIN !!
6. I do NOT lose my passport, as it would be impossible to get a new one here in Spain and if I could, it would surly mean rushing around trying to find all the forms, photo's and the embassy. Think of the possible injuries that may cause !!
So bearing in mind the above, how come this morning just 5 hours away from going on the big bird to skiing land, I reach for my cup of coffee on the table and pull a muscle in my neck !!
HOW !! how does this happen ??
So my question is what do you NOT do before you go on a skiing trip ??

Things i wouldnt again before going skiing, include having an operation....
After an interesting car accident (photos available !) back in the late 80's, I had been walking around with a 17 inch pin inside the top half of my leg where the marrow is for a year. A month before going skiing (beginners course) it was decided to take it out. What i hadnt realised was that dislocating my leg to get the pin out would also rip/tear every muscle at the top of my leg.
And that i would be back on crutches / walking stick. :shock:
So, nearly every day i was down a sports injury clinic, bought a bullworker, exercise bike and worked like mad (for me anyway). I seem to recall even taking the walking stick with me (to La Clusaz), and on day 1 being very nervous as to whether my leg would hold up.
It was ok on skis, but on the drag lift :cry:
But, in the future i would definitely check up more on the after effects of any surgery !
