dude ACLs blow because of tight hamstrings! easily avoidable so stretch them every time. do it even on the hill just by liftin one ski as if your showin off yr bases then leaning into that knee. if your gonna take some hits then do a proper warm up i reckon...but i'm an old cunt

Stretching is the most important part of skiing, besides skiing itself. By stretching you greatly reduce your chances of injuring yourself. Answer is: yes I do stretch before and after I ski...

note: your not as sore afterwards as well

stretching your quads and hammies is crucial man. def take the time to do it before/after throwin down. your knees will thank you later
