Doctors advise caution to inactive skiers returning to slopes
If you re headed to the Sierra to take advantage of all the fresh snow, doctors have a word of caution if you ve been sedentary during the pandemic. They advise lunges, squats and warmups before you hit the slopes so you don t injure yourself.
SAN JOSE, Calif. - The pandemic has impacted many daily routines including physical activity. Doctors say some people have been more active and others less during the past year and they caution athletes including skiers and snowboarders use caution when returning.
If you are thinking about traveling to the Sierra Nevada to hit the slopes this week due to the amount of snow - you may want to reconsider. Maybe Friday night when the blizzard clears, said Robbie Staenberg who was fixing his ski boots when we spoke with him Thursday night. This is the first time I m really getting out of the state for the first time, said Allanah Hughes who was buying snow pants when we spoke with her. She has never been skiing but plans to go with friends on Friday.
Parts of the Sierra have already received several feet of snow. Travel warnings have been bold even from our own Meteorologist Mike Nicco.
