From the Frontlines: February




The Scope Radio show

Summary: Lots of ski injuries in the month of February, and surprisingly many of them aren’t happening on the Black Diamonds or Double Black Diamonds ski trails. Emergency room physician Dr. Troy Madsen talks about why he thinks there seems to be an increase in ski accidents coming into the ER this year. He also discusses the false sense of security and safety that helmets can cause, and why many of the accidents may not necessarily be equipment issues, but rather, an attitudinal issue.
