Does anyone stretch before they ski? I feel it would help out a lot especially for grabs.

Yes. If not, it will take a few runs before you feel loose again. Also, obviously with the preventing injuries. You can easily tell the benefits by jumping up in the air now, then stretch a little bit and try it again. Makes a huge difference

I refer you to this thread.

Basically you shouldn't do static stretching before skiing, it loosens your muscles elasticity, which is undesirable before doing something like skiing, which takes stamina, but also explosiveness.
