3-weeks to snowmaking at Loveland Ski Area in Colorado!!! Mt. Crescent is prepared to make snow and open the first week of December, weather permitting…..
Here is a 12 week pre-season fitness prep schedule that prepares our body specifically for the athletic needs of our sport of skiing: Legs, Core and Cardio.
September 1st is my starting date…. just after our morning opening dove hunt in Nebraska (sorry PETA members), I begin the regime…. try it this year and let me know how it worked for you!
See the “Get Ski Fit” tab on the top of the website for all of the details for each of the workout modes. Each week, I will add the details of the new week (I will keep two weeks ahead)
This 12-week plan is a good preparation for the beginning of the ski season or leading up to a planned ski trip. The week of your skiing is “week 0”, while week 31 on the schedule is the week before your trip. If you don’t have 12 weeks to prepare, start at week 12 and progress from there — don’t skip ahead to a more advanced week.
