Train For Skiing
Leg strength, balance, and endurance to ski stronger for longer and protect your knees on the mountain.
Leg strength, balance, and endurance to ski stronger for longer and protect your knees on the mountain.
Skiing demands sustained isometric and eccentric strength through the quads, glutes, and calves — often for hours at a time. We build the muscular endurance to ski from first lift to last without your legs giving out halfway through the afternoon.
Maintaining control on variable terrain requires ankle stability, hip control, and core strength working together. We train the proprioception and single-leg stability that keeps you balanced and in control on steep or icy slopes.
ACL tears and knee injuries are the biggest risk in skiing. We strengthen the muscles around the knee — particularly the hamstrings and VMO — and improve landing mechanics to significantly reduce your injury risk on the slopes.
We assess your lower-body strength, single-leg stability, and cardiovascular fitness to build a clear picture of where you are and what needs to improve before you hit the slopes.
Squats, lunges, step-ups, and single-leg work to build the quad and glute strength skiing demands. We also include eccentric training to prepare your muscles for the sustained loading of long descents.
Proprioceptive drills, single-leg stability work, and core anti-rotation exercises that mirror the balance demands of skiing on varied terrain. These improve control and reduce the risk of falls.
Skiing at altitude with heavy boots and equipment is physically demanding. We build the aerobic base and muscular endurance so you can ski a full day without fatigue compromising your control or enjoyment.
You ski once or twice a year and want to make the most of every day on the mountain. A few weeks of targeted training before your trip means stronger legs, fewer aches, and more runs before fatigue sets in.
You can ski most terrain but want to push harder — steeper runs, longer days, more control at speed. Physical preparation lets you ski at a level your fitness currently limits.
If you’ve had a previous knee injury or want to protect yourself on the slopes, targeted strengthening of the muscles around the knee is the single best thing you can do to reduce your risk.
