SKI SPECIFIC TRAINING FOR ALL LEVELS
No matter your skill level on the hill, or in the weight room, there is a program for you. Let our selection tool help you elect the best program for your individual needs.
Power Development Level I focuses on fine establishing power, otherwise known as the bodies' ability to move resistance quickly. You need familiarity with your squat, deadlift, and power clean movements in order to effectively complete this program. Look for progressions across the board each week. Familiarly with Olympic lifts and strength exercises is a mandatory prerequisite for this program. The Power Development program series each run 4 weeks so look to advance through the series as you finish.

Ski Companion Level I was developed with the active mountain resident in mind. Look to improve hip mechanics and posterior strength to help support the quad dominant nature of skiing. This program builds a strong foundation of core endurance and lower extremity strength to keep you healthy and balanced on the trail. This program is a 2x/week frequency allowing time for the skier to recover from long days on the mountain, yet still excel in the gym. There's purposefully an absence of quad dominant movements (squats, step ups, lunges etc) because it's expected that you're skiing frequently if this program is being selected. Ski Companion Level I progresses every other week and lasts 6 weeks.
This program focuses on Hip Dominant movements to help build lower body strength and power. The program begins with lighter weights and higher volume before tapering down towards heavier weights in the latter weeks. Skier Legs Level I balances knee dominant exercises into the program to keep synergy between muscle groups. Expect to feel solid on your skis capable of overcoming any terrain. This program progresses in week 3 and 5 in either exercise selection, rep scheme, rest time, or a combination of the above.

All Gym Level II builds off All Gym Level I further solidifying your strength base and general physical preparedness. The skier will use all functional gym equipment from TRX bands to kettlebells. Expect progressions every 2 weeks in movement complexity, exercise duration, rep/loading scheme, and equipment selection. This program includes core specific work and conditioning at the end of each training session. This is optional however, The Ski System recommends completion if you plan on completing All Gym Level III

Balance and Stability Level II picks up where Level I ended. This program is meant for skiers with a baseline sense of balance and stability. Most movements are aimed at progressing already descent balance as well as challenging new planes of motion not seen in Level I. Expect program progressions every 2 weeks through the full 6 week block.

This program utilizes high level loading and exercises to help push the athlete closer to their peak performance. Expect all major barbell movements including some Olympic lifting. Each day will feature a strength focused barbell exercise followed by a small bout of conditioning work pulled from aspects of CrossFit. This program is best suited for experienced lifters only as well as athletes that have completed any Level III Program. Programming progresses every other week and lasts 4 weeks long. This program should have a one week De-Load following the final week to allow the body to recover physically and metabolically.

Body Weight Only Level II was created for the skier who doesn't have any available equipment. This program picks up where Level I left off. Look for continued progressions in reps, sets, rest, and movement complexity. If you cannot access a gym but want to prep your joints and muscles for the season, this is the program for you.

Dumbbell Level II picks up right where Level I finishes. Continue to progress foundational dumbbell movements as you add more complexity and loading. You will train in multiple directions to even better prepare you for the unpredictable nature of snow conditions. Like Level I, this program progresses every two weeks.
