The best day is the next day. Late season snow means nothing if you've crashed out mid-January.
Built for the year long weekend warrior, programming is contained to mid-week; with scheduled recovery sessions to fit around daily responsibilities.
Cut down on hillside injuries.
This four-week program revolves around focused body-control. The ability to control yourself in space is paramount to staying upright and coming back for more.
Body-weight exercises with a focus on the balance needed for long days on the slopes, this program will build an aerobic and anaerobic base to maximize your long weekend in the high country.
