Fitness advice for skiers
For skiers whose New Year's resolution is to improve their skiing or get fit for their winter holiday, the Ski Club of Great Britain is on hand to help by providing instructional ski courses for all standards as well as offering comprehensive fitness advice through their website.
Ski Club Freshtracks has availability on their performance courses in Val d'Isère, Klosters and Les Deux Alpes this March giving skiers a chance to improve their on-piste skills whilst skiing and socialising with like minded individuals. Additionally for those travelling alone there is no single supplement on rooms in Val d'Isere or Les Deux Alpes
For skiers wanting to improve their off piste technique, Ski Club Freshtracks courses in Flaine and Tignes this March offer the chance for skiers to work on their off piste performance and become proficient in skiing in powder.
Getting fit is top of many skiers New Year's resolutions lists, and skiing improvement is unarguably enhanced by being ski-fit. The Ski Club is proud to offer comprehensive fitness advice and exercises on their website (skiclub.co.uk) from Olympian Graham Bell, world-class ski instructor Warren Smith and chiropractor Dr Craig Mclean. Ski Club members can also view ski fitness videos on Ski Club TV as part of their membership package.
"More than ever before skiers seem to be striving to improve their ski technique - whether it is on or off piste. Modern ski technology has made skiing easier than ever before and it seems to have given people a desire to get better and better. Here at the Ski Club we offer holidays which will help them do this with the aid of top-class instructors, and offer them online ski technique and fitness advice to enhance their ski experience at whatever their individual ski ability" said Jonny Cassidy, General Manager of Ski Club Freshtracks.
Fitness information, exercises and videos can be found on the Ski Club website (skiclub.co.uk) and Ski Club Freshtracks holidays can be booked online at skiclubfreshtracks.co.uk.
