Hi, my name is David Watson and I'm a downhill skier. I live near Moonlight Basin in Montana. I'm huge into fresh powder, moguls and AIR TIME!
I put this site together because I have a bunch of buddies who kept asking me how I had the stamina to ski so long every day that we go out. I thought that maybe some of the information I know and I've found could be useful to other people outside of my little circle of friends. I've also done some research on good workout routines that can help you become a better skiier. I've sifted through the junk to find the best of the best. Enjoy the site!
Bouncing knee bends-
Key is to never go down past 90 degrees and never come up to straight legs. Do this six times a day until exhaustion. If your thighs aren’t burning the next morning you didn’t do enough. Add some dumbbells in your hands after first week.
Box jumps-
Jump sideways back and forth over a shoe box on the floor. Keep back perpendicular to gravity and try to keep your upper body in one place just swivel hips back and forth over box.
