Abstract
A central ski-patrol-based registration of skiing and boarding injuries was performed by the Norwegian Ski Lift Association during the winter seasons 2008/2009 and 2009/2010 as part of an ongoing study since 1996. Totals of 8547 injured skiers/boarders and 6.621 × 106 s of skier/boarder days were recorded during the two seasons, giving an injury rate of 1.29 injured per 1000 skier/boarder days. Most of the injuries occurred during alpine skiing (67 %) and snowboarding (29 %), compared to telemark skiing (2 %), and skiboarding (2 %). Wrist injuries were common among injured snowboarders (22 %) compared to 1–6 % for the others (P
