[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A fall at 30-40-50 is not the same as a fall at 60-70-80. Your useful life and independence could be over in one fall. Look at Terry.[/quote] +1. I've started to wonder about this myself. In the past few years, I've had multiple friends - all regular skiers who used to live in CO and UT - suffer pretty bad skiing accidents in their 40s. One had an ACL tear, the other broke a few ribs and shoulder, and another suffered knee injury that required surgery. I know that many of us still ski well into our 40s but the risk of serious injury increases tremendously. I enjoy skiing and will stick to pretty easy slopes from here on out. Once my kids can head out on their own, I will likely not venture out. The risk is too great. [/quote]
