A day in the life of a mogul skier...


Most days are pretty standard when I'm training and full of routine. Breakfast, vitamins, coffee and a quick stretch session are first on the list. On the hill with the team by 9 where we prepare the mogul course for some hot mogul action by slipping down the course and inspecting how the conditions have changed and chopping the landings of the jumps. Then business begins.. This was the first run on the mogul course in Steamboat for the season mid December.. yee haa!!


Once we are done a trip to the gym with cardio or weights and more stretching is on the books and of course a critical part to recovery - a long relaxing hot tub!! Finally the last crucial element to training is injury maintenance.. Knees being an essential requirement for mogul skiing means routine icing, stretching and physio are required to keep them agreeable to skiing bumps!!

Before you know it you're totally exhausted and the day is over and it's time to sleep otherwise too soon my alarm will beep!!
