Week 8 Q&A with Dr. Dorf: What other advice do you have for skiers and snowboarders as they start to think about physically preparing for the ski season?

Dec 14, 2018


A: First and foremost, think snow! Let's all do a routine that incorporates at least one good snow dance before November. Start now by getting your equipment dialed in, skis or boards tuned up. Get your boots sorted out now so that you are not trying to coordinate 100 things the day the mountain opens. If you are skiing or snowboarding competitively, talk to your coaches. No good season starts without watching some old school Warren Miller movies and probably a Matchstick Productions flick as well. In all seriousness sometimes that is all it will take to get you motivated to start making the transition from glowing aspens and dirt trails to deep powder, steep lines, and arcing corduroy. 

Week 7 Q&A with Dr. Dorf: What does your pre-season ski conditioning routine entail?

Dec 7, 2018


A: I joke with people that the only time I ever run is if I am at the airport, however I will break from this tenant as we approach winter.

Some short trail runs and cyclocross add a completely different stress to my body to help me prepare. I combine short hard indoor bike rides with core exercises and agility work. This helps me to get stronger for the upcoming winter and helps me to engage muscle groups that have been relatively dormant throughout my summer season.
