We'll skiing is a sport as we all know. And skiing takes physical ability as im sure any skier knows. But what most people dont do in the off-season is train. And I dont mean skateboard or whatever in the summer. I mean hit the gym or get on a fitness plan. The lack of prepairation for the season is ruining alot of seasons. I know alot of people who have gotten hurt, and a majority of them regularly work out, however I have seen a spike in injuries this year ( including myself). Probably from such a situation. Those who have hurt themselves were pushing their limits and I wish them a quick recovery. But those who have escaped the luring injuries of skiing take warning, and chug a protien shake or two!
A friendly reminder to be safe,
love mski.

help with a lot of injuries but some stuff cant be prevented no matter how good of shape ur in. That being said i work out every day and i havent been injured yet. Just a bunch of bruises and minor sprains.

that's defiantly right, I play football and theres a big emphasis on lifting because not only does it strengthen your muscles but it prevents a lot of injury's. So when the seasons over, hit the gym, it'll help your skiing a lot too

lifting weights may make your muscles stronger, but in our line of work, you need your muscles to be flexible also. trainging your muscles to slowly lift in a gym isnt good cross over to skiing, thats why most of us do call skateboarding training, because it keeps your body flexible while strengthening.
GET A JOB, try a summer job that you'll break a sweat doing it.

I workout, take whey protein and eat a balanced diet and still ended up with a fractured rib and fractured thumb. I don't care what the hell you do to train in the off season, if you're going to get injured it's just going to happen, no matter what you do to prevent it.

yo mountain bike. dh racing is way more gnar than pretty much all in bounds skiing so it toughens you up quite a bit. and tossin in some xc is always a killer work out. fuck the gym though if I'm gonna spend an hour or two tiring myself out I'm gonna do something fun and worthwhile in the process. I know lots of peeps who do find pumpin the iron to be fun and shit but that's definately not my steeze.
