November Alpine Update 2024
With snow in the valley it finally feels like winter is here! And with a new lift running, snow guns blasting and a new yurt standing, the ski season is upon us. Overall our strength and conditioning season was strong. We saw an increase in participation at almost every level at dryland culminating in a record number of athletes completing the SkillsQuest fitness test. The results were impressive. Overall we saw improvement from athletes over the season but there was an ostensible link between fall dryland attendance and performance on the SkillsQuest fitness test. An athlete’s fitness level will directly correlate to their performance throughout the season. While our official conditioning block is concluding and most groups are wrapping up dryland this week, there are still opportunities for maintenance throughout the winter. Maintaining a strong core and getting some regular exercise throughout the winter is highly recommended.
As we turn the page on fall conditions we open the next chapter, early season skiing. Currently, we have groups in Colorado and additional groups leaving soon. If you are one of those, or one that plans on skiing when the cottonwood canyons open there is a checklist of items to take care of before your first day on snow. Getting ready for a full day of ski boots by making sure your boots are comfortable and you take care of any hot spots you are experiencing. Make sure your new boots are adjusted to your new skis and that your dins are set appropriately. Early-season skiing is a crucial block as it sets the tone for the rest of the year. Coming in strong and confident with dialed equipment goes a long way to making early-season improvements.
