Blue Bird Day

Risk. One definition of risk is, “.. the combination of the likelihood of an occurrence of a hazardous event or exposure(s) and the severity of injury or ill health that can be caused by the event or exposure(s)”. Yeah, that pretty much summarizes backcountry adventuring on skis or a snowmobile! This winter season has seen a high number of avalanches that have unfortunately claimed a few lives. Several of those caught have been known by myself or by others I know personally. However, risk can be both negative and positive. As a chiropractor, and as an athlete, I am well aware of the risk of either overtraining or of enjoying too much couch time, both of which present physical issues. Unfortunately, for most, it tends to be the negative side of risk that we focus on. To me, this is worse than taking a calculated risk because without standing on the edge once in a while, you never can fully appreciate the danger of doing nothing. Dr.S.
