Certainly, this is the most difficult (weather) I've ever seen far and away. The rain and the conditions in general - it's never been this bad.
beginners both brave bravery caused confident early ends fall hurt injuries limits occur push riders season seen ski traumatic
Early season bravery has caused some of the most traumatic injuries I've seen in 21 years in the ski business. Injuries in the first part of the season occur at both ends of the spectrum. Beginners often get hurt because they don't know how to fall or they are in over their heads. Better riders get hurt because they are over confident and push their limits to far.
