 Snow has visited most parts of the country. Maybe you got a chance to get out on the trails and do some skiing. If you do get out on the white stuff, here are some early season tips: (1) Don’t push the intensity. Your body won’t be used to skiing yet. But use this opportunity to build your aerobic fitness by taking it slow and steady! (2) Focus on technique and balance. Use this time to hone your balance and focus on good form. Bad tracks and marginal snow are great for forcing good balance and technique. Work on being smooth. (3) Please, please, please use old skis!! There will be plenty of visible and hidden hazards, not the time for anything close to good skis. (4) Enjoy!! Get out there and rekindle the enthusiasm, winter is just around the corner.
