it makes such a huge difference at the end of the day, it is well worth the extra 5 minutes it takes. especially when you hit like 25.

you really should stretch before you put your boots on so you can stretch your ankles so you dont hurt your achillies or any of the other tendons in your foot - speaking from experience

I was told that stretching before everytime you go out and ski is all for the better so I'm going to have to try and remember that.
