I just started stretching more and about to do more legs/movement in the gym the remaining weeks. Looking through clips and about to set up new goals as well but really I can’t wait to hit the slopes... Where I live it’s still like 2 months left

My holy trinity of ski exercises are squats, Bulgarian split squats, and box jumps. I feel like skiing is lots of explosive movements and independent leg coordination. Another thing I try to focus on a lot is on my box jumps, on the way down I don’t just step off but I try to jump off so I can get more training for my knees and leg muscles to absorb impact.

For this upcoming season I have applied a new sticker on my K2 Fujative 2008s. Last season I rode with one ying yang sticker on each ski. After careful consideration I have added a Shake Junt sticker this year.

Nice i can recommend training to failure on leg press and hack squats also really fries the legs. I should definetly also do more box jumps. A thing ive done a little is to like step down from a small hight like one decimeter and do a explosive jump directly when i land

Jump down on a smaller box if you’re not used to impact to avoid hurting joints

Yeah hits legs heavy, do single leg stuff like above, also do barbell lunges and RDLs.

Also still hit squats, deadlifts, and power cleans too, helps with explosive power and better landings. I do wedge squats, really feel it in my knees and helps with depth if you’re tall.

Still don’t skip on upper body especially back, will help with power like above but also cushion for slams too.

Always end with a core routine you can enjoy.

basically I just do this and run/bike heavy too. I tone it down on bmx/dirt jumps cause I’d be pissed if I hurt myself before ski season.

Put my entire kit on, click into my binders and imagine myself on the top of a mountain. Its meditation for the preseason, also, make sure you have full range of motion with everything on.

Ive been doing full body workouts for the past few years which includes, squats, deadlifts, bench and overhead press. On my non lifting days I focus on range of motion, sprints, box jumps and balance techniques. Ive had my fair share of injuries and as I have gotten older it has been challenging to stay and keep in shape for skiing. Best of luck and hope you have a great upcoming season.
