Replying to Big body skiing
Weighed in at the end of last ski season at 6'2 170-175 lbs. Started lifting heavy rocks at the gym and eating right, just weighed in at 195 going into the season. I've heard some cautionary tales about how weight gain and overall change in body composition affects performance in the park (mainly things like balance, agility, muscle memory) and I made a lot of progress last season so I'm hoping the extra 20-25lbs doesn't hold me back. Has anyone experienced any noticeable changes in situations like mine?
I'm also curious from an injury perspective. Does that weight gain make me more injury prone?
Also random side note: been using the same pair of FT descendant 4s for the last few seasons. People have been saying I should probably get stiffer tongues but when I wear them they still feel fine to me. Should also mention I ski primarily rails. +k for any input
