Skiing and snowboarding has attributed to many injuries on the mountain. These injuries are due to different skill levels, age, trail design, terrain parks, inadvertent release, and equipment failure.Speed is the greatest factor of injury when on the mountain. Due to the texture of the snow and ice, it makes it difficult to stop as quickly as one may like. Many injuries and deaths have scared people from - returning to the sport. The aim of this project is to evaluate the different areas on a mountain and see how much of a direct risk each area is.
