130. Prevent Injury - The 24-Hour Rule Every Skier Needs To Know

On this episode… I'm following up on last week's confession about flaring up my knee at Mount Rainier. Whether you're rehabbing an injury, prepping for a big trip, or skiing nearly every day, doing too much too soon is one of the fastest ways to end up sidelined, and the frustrating part is that it usually feels like you're "being good" while it's happening.

I break overdoing it into the three places I see it most:

The Rehab Process
Preparing For The Mountain
Grinding through the season when skiing is your job or your obsession.

Topics Covered:

✅ Why "no pain, no gain" types are most at risk of overdoing it

✅ The acute vs. subacute phases of healing and what they mean for you

✅ How to track pain (0–10) and swelling with a tape measure, morning and night

✅ The 24-hour rule for knowing when to rest vs. when to push

✅ How to prep for skiing 5 days in a row so you don't break down on day 3

✅ What to do when skiing is your job and you can't take time off

Overdoing it isn't a character flaw — it's a planning problem, and it's fixable. Learn from my mistakes, know the demands of the trips you want, and give your body the prep and rest it needs so injury never decides how your season ends.
