OK, so I might have left it a bit late...
But seriously, we're leaving for Aspen on saturday. We're out on friday night and packing tonight but I reckon I could get a half hour in here or there...
And then there's the 9 hours on the plane and the time in the security lines...
Any suggestions on how I can get fit?

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

OK, got the hammer.
Luckily it was a rubber mallet so it's just bleeding a lot and nothing cracked.
How will this get me fit - or did you think I meant in shape?
ah, thanks comprex, that's better.
LHR to Denver to Aspen.
arr Aspen Sat 7:40pm so I expect you to have a drink ready (with umbrella (oh, wait, this isn't Whistler is it?)) on Saturday my friend...
Have you seen the temperature - Denise said -20C. I'm going to need to dig out a long sleeved shirt.
You in a rush to get out on Sunday? - I wouldn't mind some advice selecting the right model rental ski 'cos I still don't know an Atomic from a K2 and god knows what they'll actually have when we get there.
No worries if you've got plans. PM me if you like.

lbt, Don't even bother. Even stretches will injure you.

Agenterre, I think I'm there around 4pm. As for "fancy a beer?" that's a stupid question!

All this "can I get ski fit in 2 weeks" or 48 hours malarky - is there not a drink or a pill or somesuch I cam take to become instantly ski fit?
What is the world coming to if this innovation has been missed?

I don't really think you have to be that fit to enjoy skiing anyway. So long as you're flexible enough to minimise risk of injuries and can manage without a smoke or beer for 10 minutes while gravity pulls you down the hill. After all, you have a short exercise time in which gravity does all the worj anyway, followed by sitting on your butt on a lift to take you back up the hill. I think this need to get ultra fit stems from the old days when there were no lifts and now it's just a macho thing
