As a ski instructor and coach, |
learned that what you do in the
early season can pay big dividends
throughout the rest of the year.

First off, take it easy. Don’t go
too hard too soon and get injured.
Be sure to warm up before each
session, and remember to stretch
during and again after your ski.

The uphills are always a bit
steeper your first few outings of the
year. Unless you have been faithful -
to a fall or year-round fitness pro-
gram, you can expect some short-
ness of breath. Also expect some
muscle soreness and stiffness after
your first few skis. Afterall, you'll
be using muscles that haven’t been
worked like this for six to seven
