So it is now september, and if you're like me you are now aware that the ski season is fast approaching. After last years dismal season, lost vacations (thank you surgery and subsequent crohn's disease), and lack of funds, I'm really excited about the upcoming season. Normally, I stay fit all year round by playing soccer competitively, walking 6-8 miles a day, and biking. I still play soccer, but I know my body still hasn't completely recovered from last january's surgery! I realised that first at 10,000 feet in Vail where I couldn't go more than 200 vertical feet at a time without catching my breath on a powder day last march. And even now, while playing soccer I have a real hard time getting back on defense quickly. This may be the first season where it is necessary to start a ski-specific regiment of excercises to get ready for the oncoming season. I plan on stepping up the number of miles biked per day, and doing wall squats. I was wondering what you guys do to get ready for the season, or if anyone had any suggestions to add to my routine.
