Altitude alone will cause shortness of breath and fatigue. Fatigue is a significant cause of injury. Pace yourself and ski in control. Be certain to stretch major muscle groups before skiing and throughout the day. Finally, use sunscreen and drink at least 8 cups of water and other liquids during the day.
Dehydration can be another factor in injuries.
