Research

Help us build the evidence for skiing for life.

Sven’s review of the research found just 35 papers on skiing injuries. Football has thousands. Members can help change that — anonymously, and only if they choose to.

Why it matters

Skiers deserve better evidence.

Most advice on skiing injuries is borrowed from other sports. We want answers from skiers themselves: before, during and after real trips.

What we ask

Four short moments across your year.

Everything is optional. Skip any question you would rather not answer.

01

About you

Age band, how long you have skied and how many days a season.

02

How you ski

Piste, off-piste or touring; family trips, chalets or race camps.

03

Your history

Any past injuries or operations — knee, shoulder, hip — if you want to tell us.

04

After your trip

What went well, anything that hurt, what helped and how much you smiled.

A knee X-ray, travel documents and a phone laid out on a table

Your data, handled carefully

Anonymous, optional and never sold.

  • Answers are anonymised before anyone analyses them, under UK GDPR.
  • Kept apart from your payment details, which Stripe holds. We never see your card.
  • Change your mind any time from your account and we delete your answers.
  • This is research, not treatment. If something hurts, speak to your own clinician or Sven Ski Clinic.
