"Endurance is a very valuable quality on the mountains, allowing you to ski or snowboard all day long with few breaks. However it's nowhere near the only quality that will make you a successful athlete on the mountains. Explosive power is vital for long ski runs, and this workout from Sports Scientist Alfredo Scarlata can help you build it. The explosive strength workout involves split jumps, squat jumps, planks w/shoulder taps, spine mobility, and hip flexor stretches."
"Do 2-3 rounds with 12-15 reps for jumps, 30-40 seconds for the planks, and slow, controlled mobility at the end. Then make sure you rest for 60-90 seconds between rounds and send it again. This alone won't get you ready for a day on the mountain, but it will certainly help. Nolan Deck is a writer for Unofficial Networks, covering skiing and outdoor adventure."
Endurance enables full-day skiing or snowboarding with minimal breaks. Explosive power is essential for handling long ski runs and complements endurance to maintain performance. An explosive strength workout combines split jumps, squat jumps, planks with shoulder taps, spine mobility exercises, and hip flexor stretches to develop power and stability. Recommended protocol is 2-3 rounds, 12-15 reps for jumps, 30-40 seconds for planks, slow, controlled mobility work at the end, and 60-90 seconds rest between rounds. This targeted training will not fully prepare someone alone for a mountain day but will meaningfully contribute to readiness.
