The health insurance company SUVA is warning all of us to take it easy if heading to the slopes this season.

Increased weight and less fit is a recipe for accidents and injuries.
Zurich sports orthopedist, Gobert von Skrbensky, told the Tages-Anzeiger newspaper those who may not be as fit as they once were, should take more breaks while on the slopes and start doing more exercise now.
It only takes two of three weeks to improve dramatically.
