The guide focuses on the reality that if you only ski or snowboard one week a year, you're statistically more likely to get injured - not because of skill level, but because of physical preparation and fatigue management.
It includes:
- A practical four-week prep programme (leg strength, balance, cardiovascular fitness)
- Specific exercises you can do at home without gym equipment
- On-mountain strategies for your first day and managing fatigue
- When to stop before minor niggles become significant injuries
- Equipment fitting essentials and why wrist guards matter for snowboarders
The exercises are deliberately simple, wall sits whilst brushing your teeth, single-leg balance work, that sort of thing. The total time investment is minimal, but the injury risk reduction is significant.
It's aimed at recreational skiers and snowboarders rather than serious athletes. Practical information that might change how you approach your trip. https://co-ki.info/yLLLCxi (https://co-ki.info/yLLLCxi)
