What physical condition do you need to have?

Skiing and splitboarding are activities that demand good physical preparation, both cardiovascular and muscular. The demands vary depending on the individual’s level, the terrain, and the duration of the day.

For good performance:

  • Cardiovascularly: Endurance is needed to sustain sustained effort and power for bursts of intensity.
  • Muscularly: Strong legs are key, with exercises like squats and lunges. A strong core provides stability and balance, which can be worked on with planks and crunches. Balance and coordination are improved with exercises like yoga or pilates. Flexibility prevents injuries and improves movement, so regular stretching is recommended.

Preparation:

  • Start training early: Ideally 6-8 weeks before the season.
  • Gradually increase the intensity: Start with low-intensity workouts and gradually increase the difficulty.
  • Combine different types of exercise: Work all muscle groups.
  • Listen to your body: Rest when you need it and avoid overtraining.
  • Consult a professional: If you have any medical conditions or injuries, consult a doctor or physiotherapist before starting training.

In short: Skiing and splitboarding are activities for everyone, but being in good physical shape is crucial to prevent injuries and enjoy them to the fullest. With proper training and preparation, the mountains await!
