Grace Walker Physical Therapy Skiing in Utah

Grace Walker currently serves as a physical therapist and director of the Walker Physical Therapy and Pain Center. Beyond her activities as a physical therapist, Grace Walker enjoys spending time with her family and engaging in outdoor activities such as swimming and skiing. Skiing differs from many other physical activities in that a person must travel far out of their comfort zone in order to enjoy a day on the slopes. A snowy mountainside, even one owned and maintained by a world-class ski resort, can pose a great danger to skiers who are not familiar with the area and who do not pay close attention to trail markers. The most important signs on a mountain describe the difficulty of an upcoming trail in relation to other trails on the mountain. Any trail marked with a green circle can be considered a beginner’s slope. Two green circles represent the easiest trail on a mountain, with a single circle suggesting a slightly more difficult path. The next stage of trails is marked by a blue square. Skiers must remember that in this case, a single square makes for an easier trail than a double square. In either event, these trails should pose an acceptable challenge to intermediate skiers. Finally, the most challenging trails on a mountain are indicated by one or two black diamonds. These trails should only be attempted by experienced skiers. Double black diamonds are regarded as expert trails.
