We are trying to build up our volume as we approach the Winter…yes Winter.
We do not promote Ski conditioning, because we believe conditioning actually happens on the snow.  But, can we prepare the body for skiing?  We want the body to be adaptable to more volume, become resilient, and ready for the stress of skiing.  Before we jump, before we start agility, before we pound the joints, we want the body to be as prepared as possible.  The force induced through jumping, landing and skiing type of motions are significant.  Sometimes it is 3 X the amount of your body weight when landing.  If we can get the body to handle more load and more repetitive load then we will be able to adapt to skiing quicker…in theory.
