Staying safe on the first ski day of the season

At the beginning of the season, most skiers can't wait to hit the slopes but when it's been months since you last strapped on your gear, it's best to pace yourself to avoid injury. Choose an easy slope at a medium pace to get started, recommends the German Ski Association, allowing your body and muscles to get used to the movements. Even better, put in a light warm-up session before hitting the slopes to prevent injuring your muscles, tendons and ligaments. A short gymnastics session also helps
