Are you planning your winter ski or snowboard trip? If you only hit the slopes for one week each year, it’s important to prepare your body to reduce the risk of injury.
Our new guide highlights that injuries often occur not due to skill, but from a lack of physical preparation and fatigue management.
Here’s what you’ll find in the guide:
✅ A practical four-week prep programme focusing on leg strength, balance, and cardiovascular fitness.
✅ Simple exercises you can do at home—no gym equipment necessary.
✅ On-mountain strategies to tackle your first day and manage your energy levels.
✅ Tips on when to take a break before minor aches become serious injuries.
✅ Essentials for equipment fitting and why wrist guards are vital for snowboarders.
The exercises are designed to be straightforward, like doing wall sits while brushing your teeth or single-leg balance work. The time commitment is minimal, yet the potential to reduce injury risk is significant.
This guide is tailored for recreational skiers and snowboarders, offering practical insights that could change how you approach your trip.
