Strength, flexibility, endurance and agility drills for skiers and boarders are essential for both recreational and the expert snow sports athletes. Most skiers and boarders return to the slopes after months away. While some athletes participate in other sports during the off-season to stay in shape, many are weekend warriors. No matter what type of a skier you are, you could wind up with minor aches, pains or a serious injury if you don’t spend a little time preparing for the demands of your sport.
