"Strength training reduces muscular fatigue and prevents injuries," Major Brooks said. According to the major, muscles surrounding the knee joint, the quadriceps and hamstrings, should be given special attention since they are more vulnerable to injuries. "Flexibility training or stretching is a key to surviving the falls and near mishaps which occur frequently during skiing," she said. Other safety tips Major Brooks suggests are: Start slow, don't ski all day when not in shape. Beginners need to take lessons. Study resort maps and stay on proper runs. Avoid alcohol. It intensifies in cold weather. Get plenty of rest the day before skiing. Higher altitudes are more physically taxing, take your time. Never ski alone. Stretch hamstrings and ankles the day before. Dress properly and bring an extra pair of socks and gloves to prevent frostbite. Use a sun screen with a sun protection factor rating of 15 to 23.
