You’ve got the gear, now get your body ready too.
Try this ski-specific warm-up I use every weekend:

• Lateral box hops – 20 reps

• Jump squats – 15 reps

• Foam roll quads + glutes

🧳 DECEMBER PACKING LIST

✅ Skis tuned and edges sharp?
✅ Helmet doesn’t smell like raccoon socks?
✅ Extra gloves in the car?
✅ Sunscreen and lip balm packed?
✅ Parking reservations made?

Pro tip: Your backup goggles are only cool if you remember to pack them. Don’t be that person.

💡 BIG LESSON

The best gear isn’t always the priciest.
But the best skier is always the one who shows up prepared.

🏔️ REPEATABLE PROVERB

“Buy the skis. Book the trip. The snow won’t wait.”
