The Skiing ABCs K

Picking up where we left off from the 2015/2016 season we start it back up with the Skiing ABCs K. Today we go over some ski terms starting with the letter K.

The Skiing ABCs K — Knee

We kick this list off with that most important joint the knee. This and the hip are important joints for skiing and it is the knee that is most susceptible to injury while skiing.

To protect your knees while skiing keep the following in mind:

1. Stay physically fit.
2. Stay in control!
3. Keep your hips above your knees
4. After a crash, stay down until you come to a complete stop
5. Keep your arms forward
