Margaritas + Ski Training? This Might Be Genius
Think less gym rat, more après-ski chaos with actual results.

🍹 How to Train for Powder While Holding a Margarita
(Yes, it’s a real workout. Yes, it’s hilarious. Yes, you need a towel.)
❄️ Powder Legs Don’t Build Themselves
Powder skiing is magical. Until your legs give out like wet spaghetti on run two.
And if you’re a weekend warrior from SoCal? You need more than good intentions.
That’s why I invented the most ridiculous, surprisingly effective dryland ski workout ever:
The Margarita Powder Circuit.
🏖 Blame It on Baja
This all started with a mango margarita and a rogue beach wave.
Last spring I got body-slammed by a breaker in Baja. Came up looking like a sand-dusted churro… but the drink? Still in hand.
That got me thinking:
Staying balanced under chaos? That’s exactly what powder skiing is.
So I started building a training plan—equal parts strength, balance, and laughs. And yes, the drink is part of the workout.
🏋️♀️ Margarita Powder Moves
What you need:
A drink (tequila optional but encouraged)
A towel
A clear space (and maybe a friend to film your wipeouts)
Here’s what we do:
🥶 Frozen Margarita Lunges
Like a wide powder stance. Stay slow, stay low, and keep that drink level or you’re doing five burpees.
🍧 Slushy Side Slides
Towel under each foot, glide left to right like you’re slashing Mammoth trees. Core tight, arms steady.
🍹 Spritz Squat Holds
Drop deep like you’re landing a cliff drop. Hold it ‘til your quads cry. Sip if you dare.
🌵 Tequila Tree Pose
Powder’s about balance. So is this one-legged toast to the snow gods.
💡 Why It Works
Powder skiing demands:
Crazy balance
Fireproof quads
Core engagement like you’re dancing on jello
This workout sneaks in all the muscles you’ll need, wrapped in enough fun to forget it’s exercise. 😎
🎯 Big Takeaway
You don’t need a ski hill to prep for pow.
You need creativity, commitment—and maybe a cocktail.
This is your ticket to stronger legs, smoother turns, and stories your ski crew won’t believe.
🧘♂️ Sasha’s Mountain Mantra
If you can’t sip it steady, you’re not powder ready. 🏔🍋
