As we made our first run down through the freshies, marking up the mountain with first tracks, the exhilaration of thrashing through the powder was an extreme adrenaline rush! The fresh, crisp mountain air filled our lungs as we huffed and puffed through the trees, with every shoulder brush of the pine branches, knocking off more fresh powder. Ahh, this is the kind of day us skiers and boarders dream about!  The kind of day where you can't even wipe the smile off your face you're on such a high from floating through the pow. As we got about 2-3 hours into this amazing day of powder skiing, a common problem started to occur in most of the skiers in our group... Most of us started to get such deep leg burning and fatigue, that it was starting to severely slow us down, and make us start to stumble here and there... you know, those little mess ups that really annoy you, because you know you're a better skier than that! We all were getting the symptoms commonly known as "jello legs", and it was ruining our day of epic powder skiing. The snow was so incredible that we wanted to ski straight through the whole day without breaks until close, but our legs were just not having it. I didn't want to admit it to my buddies, but my legs were simply shot, and I had to call it quits early that day. What was Wrong with Our Legs? Later that night, we were relaxing in the lodge with some drinks, soaking our sore muscles in the hot tub. We started talking about how we wished we had been better physically prepared for this ski trip, so that we could have made the most of what was one of the best skiing days you'll ever experience. The thing that most of us noticed was that we were all in fairly decent shape already, however we simply hadn't conditioned our legs well enough to handle a tough day of skiing like this. One of my friends then shouted over to me, "Mike, you're a professional fitness trainer... why don't you come up with some sort of program for skiers to develop rock solid legs that can last all day long on the slopes without the deep burn and jello legs?" Everybody else agreed it was something they wanted to try also. So, I figured I'd start developing and testing programs as soon as we got back from this trip. Let the testing begin... Dozens of Trials & Tribulations Lead to Development of a Killer Lower Body and Core Training Program for Skiers that Want to Dominate the Slopes... Going WAY Beyond Just the Typical "Wall Squats" & Lunges When I first set out and started experimenting with various exercise combinations, sequences, and types, I knew I needed to look beyond just the typical wall squats and leg extensions that everybody does thinking that these alone are going to give them the leg endurance and strength they need to tear up the slopes. Did You Know That Most Ski Training Programs are Actually Increasing Your Chances of Injury!When I first started researching ski-specific training programs, I realized there was a serious problem out there on the internet and in skiing publications with misinformation on training guidelines. Most information I did find on the web on fitness programs for skiers was, for the most part, outdated and recommended some of the worst exercises and protocols I could ever imagine!  Not only did some of these sites recommend exercises and machines that may actually INCREASE your chances of injury,
