STRETCHING & SNOWBOARDING

It's spring! Which is my favourite time to snowboard. Warmer weather, sunshine, outdoor après...

I've noticed that people don't seem to approach skiing and snowboarding in the same way we would with other sports. Not much attention is paid to what happens off the hill.

Stretching and strengthening the lower extremities (quads, hams, gluts) and core is very important, as well as increasing flexibility. Activities like yoga can really help up your game but also help protect your body from injury. Make sure you warm up and stretch before snowboarding, and put some training in, including some squats, during the dry season.
