What’s the best way to get ready for ski season? Should you start squatting with weights to improve your leg strength and power into those turns? Get your trail running shoes on and head outdoors to increase your stamina for long days on the hill? Or unroll your yoga mat and work on improving your balance and overall mobility to help you with the dynamism of skiing?
I taught yoga in Vail, Colorado for 11 years and in that time, I saw every approach to ski conditioning under the sun. While different athletes, coaches and studios each had their own method, one thing we could all agree on was that skiing is a sport that requires some pre-season preparation.
