The objectives of this project are to design and test a website to learn to what extent it is possible to improve the understanding of the causes and mechanisms of ski and snowboard injuries using web-based surveys. A further objective is to share information gathered on the web site with the public and other researchers through the web with the intent to help reduce injuries. On-line surveys allow information to be gathered from a large and diverse spectrum of snow sport experiences. On-line surveys also have the potential to improve the understanding of mechanisms of injuries and to identify factors influencing particular injury types.
