Are you ready to ski????

I had a great weekend preparing for the upcoming ski season with Pat's Peak Ski Patrol. Are you ready?

Don't let the ski season start without being prepared to tear it up this winter and stay out of the patrol room!

Exercises to prep for ski season:
- single leg balance
- squats
- split squats ( especially for all of you tele skiers!!)
-lateral squats
- ankle mobs
-single leg step downs for that eccentric burn at the end of a hard day on the hill😛
-side planks - my favorite for lateral hip and core stability

For more information or tips to stay fresh and enjoy all the white GOLD mother nature sends us this winter check out

I think this is a great message for us all to take away. It may not be what we are eating, but more importantly what we are not eating that is hurting the most!!

One in five deaths were tied to poor diets, researchers found; global diets need rebalancing to include more whole grains, milk, nuts, and seeds, experts say.
