With an abundance of winter sports and recreational activities to participate in, there’s a reason so many people choose to reside in northwest Colorado. It’s important to be wary of any injury risks and to know what to do to prevent getting hurt this season.
“Wintertime is one of our busiest seasons because winter activities, ranging from cross country skiing to snowmobiling, are why a lot of people choose to live here,” said Dr. Alex Meininger, an MRH visiting orthopaedic surgeon and sports medicine specialist from the Steamboat Orthopaedic & Spine Institute. “Any effort we can put into our preseason will maximize our experiences and help us avoid injury during the winter season.”
