Thanks for pointing that out. One aspect that I'd like to try and get an
estimate for is the likeliehood of a reported accident per
skier/snowboarder on the slopes. The Norwegian study says that they
interviewed every 10th person in a queue sampled twice a day, and twice
a week, throughout the study period, in order to get enough controls to
match the expected number of injuries. However it doesn't give a total
for the estimated number of skiers passing through the resorts during
the study period.
