Abstract: Since 23 years the skiing-accidents are statistically surveyed in the private practice of the author. The number of injured patients is continuously decreasing. Specially the injuries in years with little snow fall are analyzed. It is evident that leg fractures are quite rare but severe injuries of the knee are increasing. 50% of ski accidents are minor injuries.
