Posted

ASHWAUBENON (NBC 26) — The Winter Olympics are official over but there are plenty of weeks left in winter for outdoor activities, and many might want to try things they’ve seen on TV—like skiing and snowboarding. Wisconsin has the 3rd most ski resorts per states in the U.S., so there are plenty of opportunities, but with that comes a potential for injures, especially in kids.

NBC 26 Today spoke with Dr. Greg Rebella today, a pediatric emergency medicine physician with UW Health kids, and asked him what the long term impacts look like for winter sports injuries, and how parents can protect their children.
