I'm not the comp jock type but I want to be in great shape so I can progress a lot this season and resist injuries. I have been doing a lot of running, sit ups, crunches, plank, push ups. Are there any other workouts that will help a lot?

Well the best advice would be to listen to californiagrown...

If you can't lift 800 lbs, maybe try running up and down hills. When doing this though, be sure to use the "silent foot" technique. Try to make your footsteps as quiet as possible. This will really help to exercise the dynamic movements that skiing requires.
If you live in the midwest or some shit and don't have hills, go run high knees...

If you want to resist injuries, do upper body stuff as well. Skiing crashes are tough on shoulders and other important things like that, and trust me, you don't want to have to deal with those injuries. Hill running is great for lower body, like someone already said. Run up hills backwards as well, it builds your quads. I find rowing (on the machine, although if you have a boat that works too) is great for core and my whole upper body. As miserable as it is, go to the gym and find a routine that works for you. Your body will thank you when shit hits the fan and you have one of those crashes you'll be telling your grandchildren about.
