Getting fit for the new ski season...

If you don’t care that it’s too cold to wear flip-flops and can imagine that the rain is fresh snow

in higher parts of the mountains, you are probably a big winter sports enthusiast and have al-

ready started to pull out your ski equipment. Checking on the condition of your equipment is

the first part of the preparation process for the new winter season. You should not consider

hitting the slopes until you have prepared your own body.

The importance of preparing for the slopes before you start skiing or riding is paramount. Being

in shape will not only reduce the chance of getting hurt, but will also help you to become a bet-

ter skier. The fitter you get, the easier it is to improve your technique. Being more efficient will

enable you to out-ski other skiers, even those younger ones. Remember, it is the engine that

counts most.

Working on your cardiovascular fitness

This will ensure that you have

enough stamina to last an entire day on the

slopes. Many skiers end up injuring themselves

as their muscles become fatigued. Don’t forget

that being in good cardio shape means you can

hike to untouched powder. What a joy to have a

little part of the mountain to yourself.

Building up your ski-specific muscles

To help you ski to the best of your ability and for

as long as possible, you will need to work on

building your ski-specific muscles. Important

muscles that need to be in peak condition when

you hit the slopes include your quadriceps,

calves, and gluts and your body’s core muscles.

Improving your balance and flexibility

Balance is a fundamental feature inherent in ski-

ing or boarding movements. You are constantly

moving in and out of a balanced position as you

progress down the slope. Flexibility basically re-

fers to the ability of your muscle-connective tis-

sues to extend without compressing your joints

and potentially causing real damage. The tendons and ligaments that surround your joints need

to be strong and flexible if you wish to avoid injuries while skiing.

Join us for our

Fitness on the Snow

program to assure you have developed these three key areas.

NATIVE AMERICAN HERITAGE MONTH

Short Nights of the Shadow Catcher: the epic life and immortal pho-

tographs of Edward Curtis, by Timothy Egan tells the story of Edward

Curtis, who in 1900 began his epic quest, backed by Theodore Roo-

sevelt and J.P. Morgan, to capture on film the Native American na-

tion before it disappeared. This is a remarkable biographical story

behind Curtis’s struggle to document the stories and rituals of more

than eighty tribes.

Caleb’s Crossing, by Geraldine Brooks. Pulitzer Prize winning author

Brooks imagines the life of Caleb Cheeshahteaumauk, a Wam-

panoag Indian from Martha’s Vineyard, who became the first Native

American to graduate from Harvard college and did so with honors.
