Winter is just around the corner and and the cooling fall temperatures has every snow enthusiast daydreaming of fluffy snowflakes accumulating on the mountains, the lift lines opening, and the epic first few runs of a soon to be great ski season or vacation. The weathermen and Farmer’s Almanac are calling for a great winter, but are you ready? The PR Newswire has published Cold, Snowy Winter Predicted; 5 Ways to Prep Now for the Upcoming Ski Season. Be in the best shape and be prepared for your upcoming ski vacation and ski season
- Hit the gym. Avid skiers know their legs need preparation prior to hitting the slopes. Find a ski-specific exercise class or research a convenient at-home version. Lunges, squats and step-ups are all quick bodyweight exercises that will help you conquer those black diamonds! The Snowmass Rec Center is a great place to get your muscles warmed up pre and post ski day.
- Book early to get the best value. Get ahead of the crowds and save money by booking a ski package this fall. The Stonebridge Condominiums offers great accommodations and early season rates. Book early and save!
- Prep your gear before the first flurries. Skis, bindings, boots and poles need maintenance and upkeep. Inspecting them now provides ample time for repairs so you’re ready for the first big powder day. Local ski shops are available for overnight tunes and delivery services.
- Need new gear? Save some serious cash by taking advantage of retailers’ pre-season sales at local stores or online. Many ski outlets have ski swaps pre-snow season with great deals. Local Snowmass stores always have the retail available at many convenient locations
- Take inventory of winter clothing necessities. Take time before the snow arrives to assess what still fits or needs to be replaced in your winter ski clothing collection. Make sure all long underwear, vests, gloves and helmets still fit properly. Better yet, save room in your suitcase and rent a complete snow get-up, layers, gloves, and all from a local concierge ski apparel service.
