Justin Moore revealed that he was injured in a skiing accident this winter during a recent appearance as co-host of Country Countdown USA with Lon Helton.
Fans have recently noticed him performing with a knee brace, and this explains why.
“We just got back from skiing in Aspen, where I tore my MCL like an idiot. It didn’t require surgery. A meniscus would, and an ACL would, but my doctor said the MCL does not require surgery. So that’s good news,” he said.
Moore, his wife, and their four kids are avid skiers, and he actually considers himself pretty skilled on the slopes, but this time, things didn’t go as planned.
“We’ve been taking the kids skiing for spring break for ten years. I was skiing the best I have in years. I was skiing with good skiers. I kept up with them for 4-5 runs. We went through this trick part. Then my knee went in one direction, and the rest of my leg went in the other. I knew from playing sports that it wasn’t good.”
He’s currently wearing a brace while healing, but the injury isn’t slowing down future family plans on the slopes.
“We’re still going. We’ve been going to Steamboat. That’s our favorite. It’s kid friendly,” he explained. “So I was looking forward to it because my confidence was really high. I’ve been told
as you get older, things will stop working. Your reaction time is slower.”
Moore’s latest single at country radio is “Time’s Ticking” and that is certainly something he can relate to as he revealed that his oldest daughter recently started driving.
“I just bought my daughter a car. It is the most bizarre feeling ever,” he admitted. “You’re giving this piece of machinery to this baby, in your eyes. But you have to let them be independent.”
While he is still getting used to the idea of Ella driving, he is enjoying the perks of having an extra driver in the house.
“We’ve been soccer moms for their lives. Now we just send Ella,” he said. “We go ‘Ella, go get your brother.’ She loves it because she wants to drive all the time. Now, I don’t want to drive ever.”
Justin Moore is preparing to hit the road on Riley Green’s 2026 Cowboy As It Gets Tour.
The upcoming trek will visit arenas and major cities across the U.S., including stops in Nashville, Alpharetta, Cleveland, Saratoga Springs, Salt Lake City, Hartford, and more.
