Do these guys train as far as plyos and weight training and what about the jibbers and I mean the pros.

i know why hugo never falls. cuz when you tomahawk down a steep face you will get charlie horses for a couple weeks and a shit load of other things to your limbs. just to show how strong there legs must be try this , when your resort is fully open go to the hardest trail first run and go very fast without stopping you will probaly say oh i do this all the time and you might if your name is seth or micah or hugo or any big mountain rider

seth claims the only thing that keeps him frmo getting injured of 80footers is that hes in shape, if u muscles are strong,they hold ur bones inplace, and if ur bones are strong u dont have much to loose, aslong as u know how to fall



i cant describe the vibe i get when i drive by 6 people and 5 i hit

^winterparksuks has a good point. Try to rock a 2-3000 vert run top to bottom fast without stopping. That's what the pro's do, and you have to be ripped to do that shit. Also, core strength (abs) are key for stability in the air, and sticking big hits. I work alot on legs, and core in the offseason, and usually get into good shape about a month into the season. Skiing is the best workout for skiing.

i work out a little, but thats only so i look good in the mirror...big mountain definately requires some strength as well as flexibility...i wouldn't doubt it if the big boys put some time in on the leggins...

I run, so I've got plenty of leg strength, but I need to work on ab strength if it's that important.

I do a lot of stretching during my workouts... I figure it will help me stay limber when I bail.

I also train frequently, (Weights, running, plyos) but this is more needed for me since I'm an older guy. damn you invincible whippersnappers!

Personally I like to cartwheel halfway down the mountain on the first run. It really stretches out those muscles you didn't even know you had, plus it gets your head in the game too.

Ya if your in good shape you won't get hurt because I'm always in good shape and I've broken only 1 bone in 11 years of skiing.
