The goal of this project was to use a method of identification and education, in conjunction with the internet, to reduce snow sport related injuries. The project specifically focused on several common injury types that included, knee injuries, thumb injuries, wrist injuries and head injuries. The group was successful in designing and implementing the necessary surveys and studies to achieve this goal. The group saw participation in all of the individual injury studies with a total number of 103 responses and 372 website visits.
