With the snow season just about to kick off in just under a month there’s no better time to start preparing your body to get the most out of the upcoming 2020 season. Snowboarding and Skiing requires a nimble body that is mobile, strong and well conditioned from the ground up to perform the demands of the sport and stay injury free. The lower body which takes most of the brunt of the movement is a key area of focus as well as the upper body as it requires good mobilty and stability through the thoracic spine to perform many different maneuvers.
