Train For Skiing

Leg strength, balance, and endurance to ski stronger for longer and protect your knees on the mountain.

What This Does For Your Skiing

Leg Strength & Endurance

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.

Balance & Stability

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.

Knee & Joint Protection

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.

What The Training Involves

1

Physical Assessment

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.

2

Lower-Body Strength & Power

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.

3

Balance & Core Training

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.

4

Cardiovascular Conditioning

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.

Who It’s For

Holiday Skiers

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.

Intermediate & Advanced Skiers

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.

Skiers Worried About Knee Injuries

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.
