My friends, and myself included seem to have been getting hurt a lot in the past year skiing..I was just wondering what the most common injuries were while skiing, and what injuries have you had?

Never heard of skiers thumb before tbh. But personally I've broken both of them, the right one twice. It was aver 18 months ago, but it's still not 100%.

Injured left knee, was super lucky and didn't tear anything, so with rehab I was back in 3 months.

Some concussions.

Why are ACL injuries so common? I hope I never tear mine but I like to think I do plenty of leg exercises to strengthen the surrounding muscles and tissues to withstand some pretty grisly falls.
