 While the snow keeps falling, it seems that the ski season in the northern hemisphere is slowly wrapping up. Most hills are closing the lifts, and many backcountry operations have tied things up.

Despite being lower impact than spinning laps on the lifts, life on the skin track can lead to its own set of ailments. But don't let this hold you back!
