End-of-the-day tweaks and spills are more common for skiers,than you'd think, according to Mayo Clinic physical medicine and rehabilitation specialist Dr. Ed Laskowski. Muscle fatigue at the end of the day can lead to sloppy technique and injuries such as a tear of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in the knee, which can require surgery and intensive rehabilitation. Dr. Laskowski, a former elite skier who turned his career to medicine, says that recreational skiers can take steps to optimize their protection from injury.
