Hi Happy Skiers! I hope all of your summers are off to an amazing start!  As most of you know summer is the best time for a skier to gain their base fitness for the rest of the year.  As the saying goes "skiers are made in the summer." I will be posting training suggestions for each week.  You can move the days and activities around and fit it around your schedule just remember the thing to focus in the summer is easy volume. Also we have the opportunity to train with the UW team in the summer so some of the practices that I suggest will be with them.
