The big takeaway for skiers should be the balance. Feel that pressure shin/boot. A lot of people get spooked (especially beginners or 1 a year skiers) and they lean back to "stop" but that's counter productive and they takeoff and have less control. I live in Ontario, it's 99% ice so sharp skis are a must
This is so true! my coaches when I was little would tell us to 'pretend there are grapes between your shins and the boot and SQUISH THEM!' . I remember making sure my skis were EXTRA sharp when I would have races out east- you are so right!
Alecia, your videos are fantastic! They offer such valuable insights and are explained with great clarity. I eagerly anticipate applying your tips during my skiing sessions. Can't wait to see what you have in store for us in your upcoming videos!
Thank you so much! I truly appreciate that and can't wait to hear how your season goes!
Thank you for the great tips! I find by the end of a ski day my calves are also super sore. Would love your thoughts on why that may be!
A couple possibilites for your calves, first, our lower legs are in ski boots and our ankle movement is really restricted, it's possible you need to do some foot and ankle stretching to help (search my channel I have a couple follow along videos for after skiing. It could also be that your boot fit needs some help from your local ski shop. It could ALSO be that you are in too soft a boot OR that you are bracing by pressing through your toes when you are skiing (so using your calf muscles with every turn instead of pressing through your shins to get forward on the skis) . Sorry for the long paragraph, I hope by investigating these possibilities you find out what it is, let me know how you end up solving the problem!
My thighs we on fire yesterday from the first turn on. I was an intermediate skier but maybe the lack of confidence along with skis that were too long may have been the reason
That's very possible! We also have some great post-ski mobility videos you can check out if you're still feeling tight in your quads. th-cam.com/video/tBujHqQNNm0/w-d-xo.html or th-cam.com/video/drdH4Y9AJr0/w-d-xo.html are both awesome!
Hello Alecia,
Thank you for a great video. I will be taking your tips onto the ski hill.
I have a question about women skiing. Do you use heel lifts? I have for years and cannot even remember who recommended them for me. Recently I was chatting to my sister about them and she found a youtube video called The importance of heel lifts in womens ski boots. But that is all we could find about them! Can you share some insights? If you have covered this in a previous video, let me know.
Happy turns.
Hello! I haven't heard of heel lifts for women in skiing, however you've got my interest! I will certainly look into it. I do know that some ski techs will set the bindings for women's skis farther back on the ski, and the reason I heard for that was due to our center of mass being lower than a mans, but I have never that theory on snow, actually that might be a neat video!
The best recovery for the muscles is unfortunately cold water 1 min Dips 😱😱
Ahahah sometimes the best things are also the worst things! New research coming out about cold water plunging is so interesting and certainly it looks like its helpful!
Why are my quads sore after skiing? Well duh.. because skiing is one of the most physically demanding activities out there. Get on a pair of FIS SL ski, drive them like a maniac for 4 hours and not only your quads but your whole body will be sore no matter how good your technique is.
Ahaha I love this!
