Abstract

Previous investigations showed direct correlation between the degree of alcoholization and the severity of injuries after ski accidents. The aim of our study was to investigate the prevalence of alcohol use on slopes and on ski tours. Results: The examination of breath in 414 probands proved 30% alcohol positive ski tourists. A significantly higher frequency of alcohol positive skiers was found on tours, if an open mountain hut was located on the tour, but the mean degree of alcoholization was significantly higher on slopes.
