1st Annual Update in Sports and Travel Medicine
Big Sky Ski Resort, Montana USA, Jan 7 - 14, 2012

Big Sky more than exceeded expectations in 2011. After experiencing genuine Montana hospitality and some truly amazing skiing we just knew we had to go back in 2012. Big Sky has access to more skiing than any other resort in the USA. There are over 5500 skiiable acres to explore with a vertical drop of 4350 feet. But the greatest thing about Big Sky is NO LIFT LINES. The resort is incredibly quiet just after the New Year as Americans head back to work and school . For 2012 our meeting will focus on the themes of Sports and Travel Medicine. We have scheduled a mix of morning and evening sessions to discuss topics such as knee injuries, radiology in sports medicine, fever in the returned traveller, malaria, rare parasites and many others. We will also be hosting a 3 day pre- meeting workshop at Yellowstone National Park from January 4th – 6th 2012. This will give delegates to opportunity to visit the world’s first designated National Park.

Registration will again be limited to a maximum of 32 delegates and already 10 of these have been booked.

Big Sky Ski Resort Montana

Big Sky more than exceeded expectations in 2011. Big Sky has access to more skiing than any other resort in the USA. There are over 5500 skiiable acres to explore with a vertical drop of 4350 feet. Big Sky has long green runs for the beginner, stunning cruisers of up to 6 miles in length for the intermediate and some of the most challenging black runs in the country. For the truly adventurous there are dozens of steep alpine chutes or you can equip yourself with a beacon and a buddy to explore the incredible backcountry.

But the greatest thing about Big Sky is NO LIFT LINES. The resort is incredibly quiet just after the New Year as Americans head back to work and school so it almost felt like we had the resort to ourselves. It was not unusual to have 4 or 5 empty chairs between skiers and to be able to ski long cruisers with only 2 or 3 other people. Wonderful snow, fantastic runs and all the space you could ever need.

After experiencing genuine Montana hospitality and some truly amazing skiing we just knew we had to go back in 2012. So it is already locked in for the 7th - 14th January 2012.  For 2012 our meeting will focus on the themes of Sports and Travel Medicine. We will schedule a mix of morning and evening sessions to discuss topics such as knee injuries, radiology in sports medicine, fever in the returned traveller, malaria, rare parasites and many others.

We will also be hosting a 3 day pre- meeting workshop at Yellowstone National Park from January 4^th – 6^th 2012. This will give delegates to opportunity to visit the world’s first designated National Park. This is a unique winter opportunity with the potential for you to go snowshoeing, cross country skiing or jump on a snow mobile as you explore one of the world’s great destinations.
