Pillar 2 of 4 · with Sven

Knowledge. Know what you are protecting, and why.

How your body works on skis, what to check before the first lift, what to do if you fall. From a knee surgeon who skis every winter — and sees what a fall costs people who were not ready for the mountain.

What you get

Kit, falls and skiing after surgery.

Kit, boots and bindings — and the two-minute check that makes the first run safer. Falls and the first 24 hours: what to do if you fall. And skiing after surgery — knee or hip, ACL or replacement — what changed and what to do about it.
