Any ski lovers out there? Hopefully there are. If so, do you do any specific workouts/lifts/exercises in preparation for the season or during the season?

I thought I'd put together a list of exercises I've been doing to get ready for the upcoming ski season. The specific training anyone does will differ depending on the type of skiing they do; park/pipe, powder/backcountry, recreational, racing, all mountain. As for myself, I partake in all aspects of skiing, especially all mountain, so my exercises are varied. Here are some things I've found to be helpful.

- one leg squats (standing on a bench): great for balance, core strength, and leg strength
