Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

FIS to launch 'Injury Surveillance System' for all ski racing disciplines
 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

The International Ski Federation (FIS) is to develop methods of monitoring the incidence of ski racing injuries, and managing their risk, across all disciplines.

The research will be led by the Oslo Sports Trauma Research Centre. The aim is reduce the number of injuries suffered by athletes and will involve the use of a research partner: dj Orthopedics, a 'global medical device company', which specialises in 'rehabilitation and regeneration products for the non-operative orthopaedic and spine markets'.

Professor Bengt Saltin, Chairman of the FIS Medical Committee, commented:
“FIS is concerned about the number of injuries suffered by elite athletes in the FIS disciplines. The FIS ISS project will provide us with current and reliable data on injury trends at the elite level so that we can begin to take the appropriate steps to address the risk factors through our rules and regulations, as well as obtaining a basis for providing proper injury prevention programs.”

One ski racer who will enter the Winter Olympics, apparently with an injury-free record over seven years on the World Cup, is Anja Paerson of Sweden. As two-time overall World Cup champion she may be able to give the FIS some very useful advice.

This report from The Washington Post.

"Anja is extremely well-trained," says Dan Vinberg, the Swedish alpine ski team's doctor ... And she never takes any risks in training. If the conditions are bad, like poor visibility, she'll just stop ski practice."
