Best Off-Season Training?

[bbishop93]

I've been skiing for about 3 years now and ive picked it up extremely fast due to my uncle who's does like crazy heli skiing and stuff, but now I really wanna up my game, after being out in Colorado, and especially now as I'm starting to get into park/pipe more than the mountain. I was wondering what's a good off-season routine to keep in good shape and really boost my performance for next season. Thanks +K.

swimming, biking, climbing/hiking. keeps you in shape, and keeps you strong. they're for the most part low impact so the chance of injury isn't really there.

 

[GNARZILLA]

Yea yoga is a good one, then some type of circuit training or crossfit.

 

[saxon]

rollerblading and biking are good to stay in shape, tramp and water ramps, and a diving board are good to train specific skills. if you can get to a summer skiing camp, that's the best.

Tramps, biking, working out... Pretty much any and all activities that keep the muscles active

 

[AcidKneeDrop]

try building a summer drop in that will really help your rail game.

tramps are my favorite in summer

 

[bbishop93]

yeah i looked up some camps but way out of my price range. I need to just do something on my own.

run, bike, go to the gym get into a workout routine. Anything that gets you moving really

ROW, strengthens pretty much everything, give you a solid core, and youll feel a lot less pain the next season joint wise,

also for getting tricks down, summer set up for rail game and tramp for getting comfortable in the air

 

[Tikayt]

Anything that makes you stronger in your legs and you overall body so you resist shocks easier. Then for freesking, tramp seems IMO the best option (unless you've got a water jump nearby..).

i aggresive skate easy to learn and so fun and u can go urban rails best offseason for me

 

[ohboy]

Yoga, rowing, a jog. Jog length will depend on you as a person. I just do a quick 2 miles for about 20 minutes (not full speed). Then walk a few more miles. Find a routine that suits you.Also you could get a workout routine at a local gym.

If you're on the east coast, check this, it doesn't say the price on there, but if I remember correctly last year was about $400. http://www.liberty.edu/snowflex/index.cfm?PID=23024

I don't understand how that can help me ? I need more information ..

Dude, its still winter, the best way to train for skiing is to go skiing - son't think about off season yet!

 

[roddy116]

well apparently there is a dry course coming in soon near my house.

 

[Billups]

Yoga is great for flexibility, circuit training or crossfit is good for overall strength and conditioning. All good things that can help your skiing.

 

[Ski_ftw_qc]

I have difficulty to touch my feet without bending my knees.. I should begin Yoga

 

[ericdan]

Windells?

 

[tall_pants]

that does help.but im more of a pilates guy

 

[J_Christoph]

tramping and stretching is always a good combo

 

[I.B]

This.

Working out, running, biking.

I bike everywhere in the summer (with in reason) and just do atheletic things. Swim, dive have fun really.

Don't sit inside and play cod.

 

[californiagrown]

train like a football player.

it will help your strength, explosivness, resistance to injury, balance, cardio, body control, and make you not scrawny.

ever seen LJ? dude is a chunk and thats why he can take those gnarly, bails.
