Winter is here in Colorado and with that comes ski and snowboard season. While we are all blessed to be able to participate in this fantastic pursuit for a good part of the year, it's also the busiest time of year for us from a professional standpoint.
Because of our close proximity to major ski resorts like Vail, Beaver Creek, Copper, and Breckenridge, we deal with skiing and snowboarding injuries on a daily basis. Of course, we are well-trained to do so.
But it also means that our surgeons have a good idea of what it takes to stay out of our office. We want you to enjoy your vacation on the mountain, not have cut it short with an injury.
