Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Poster: A snowHead

I i'm in a bit of a "pickle" if you like! I started skiing very young and reached a high standard fairly quicly-i enjoy throwing my self down chutes, over moguls, off bank country jumps, but theres another problem, i also enjoy sitting down in the bar at the end of a hard week at work. Result:not as fit as I used to be! I am worried for the coming season that I will not be at a good state of fitness-doing a season in Banff and am looking for suggestions as to what i can do to get rediculously fit very fast! I work 21 hours a week and finish at around half 10 in the morning so have the whole day to do "get fit".

Cheers!

Do a triathlon. Gets you very fit, excellent cross training across most muscle groups and cardio. Mountain bike one if possible, upright riding position helps.

I've done triathlon for three years, am as fit as I have ever been for skiing and have no muscle soreness when I go, and I go hard. However wanky that sounds.

Rossfra8, ok so you need a good blast of cardio and some conditioning work.

For cardio try the below 3 week training program for a sub 50 min 10k. Soon whips you into shape.

For muscle conditioning go to

http://getfit.com.au/html/excercises/

Use the links for body parts to pick your excercises.

I would suggest:

Day 1: Chest + Shoulders + Triceps (pushing excercises)
Day 2: Back + Biceps (pulling excercises)
Day 3: Legs

Daily : Stomach.

Hope that helps.
