- Truly on Piste?
Boozy
British skiers could be banished to the 'dry' slopes by ‘piste
police’, as skiers are ready to ignore new penalties
introduced in European resorts.
- Wintersport Claims
Before the advent of the modern ski boot many skiers ended
up with fractured ankles when they fell. Because boots now
hold the foot and ankle much better, injuries tend to happen
further up the leg and hence we now see a larger number of
knee ligament injuries.
