How to Train for Ski Season

We have had an awesome summer of “Training”. This is one of the first summers either of us can recall when we had a lot of time and energy to devote to staying in shape and working towards some goals. We did a couple of big alpine climbs this summer that required us to not be only in great climbing shape, but also have a good solid cardio and endurance base. Before the winter arrives, we are planning a couple more adventures and we’re convinced this type of training will let us hit the slopes running. Watch the video to see what we call “training”.

• 1. Make it fun. 
• 2. Have a partner that likes to push it but doesn’t take his or her self too seriously. 
• 3. Find a partner that has different strengths than you. That way they help you strengthen were you are weak and vice versa. 
• 4. Have goals. No matter how big or small, it is really important to have something that you are working towards. Maybe it’s running 10 km in under an hour, or a skiing a certain line that will require climbing-level fitness. 
• 5. Buy a Salomon running kit. You’ll feel fast on the trail even though you are not.
