Elevate your skiing or riding skills to a whole new level with our year-long approach to you ski conditioning. Skiing and snowboarding are both intense sports that require an advanced level of aerobic and anaerobic fitness, muscle endurance and strength, balance and core stability. Avoid injuries and extreme muscle soreness by ensuring your body is properly conditioned. Ski Conditioning will focus on building your overall athleticism, increasing your fitness level, preventing injury, and increasing your performance on the mountain. This program will make you stronger on your skis; deceleration training will help in absorbing landings & prevent injuries; explosive leg power will provide more pop on your jumps; core rotation will allow you to fly through the moguls; and balance and core training will ensure your stability and body awareness on the mountain.

“My strength and endurance are the strongest they’ve been in more than ten years. My balance and agility are close to how they were when I was ski racing in college. Thanks to Jenn my first day back to skiing this year in foot-deep Oregon powder was wonderful. I was not at all sore or tired afterwards. I’ve also enjoyed playing indoor soccer, an all-day yoga seminar and daily workouts that leave me inspired for more!” Kirsten Klug, Ski Conditioning client for 10 years
“I love the variety of tasks that Jenn incorporates, sometimes the sheer number of different things we do in a class astounds me! I get challenged on so many levels. This class has shown me that there are about a million more ways to torture myself than I had already thought of!” Holly Tencer, Mt. Hood MeadowsTraining Director & PSIA-NW Divisional Clinic Leader
“Thanks to PEAK fitness NW my ski season was off and running months prior to the season’s first snow. The variety of exercise, creative drills and focused instruction that Jennifer brought to each session was inspiring. Jennifer’s class is an intense and results oriented workout.” Greg Chase, Mt. Hood Meadows Training Director

Jenn’s class was tailor made to get me in shape for aggressive skiing. I wanted to have fun doing it and classes are designed for fun.” Richard Mario, Mt. Hood Meadows & PSIA Level II Ski Instructor
“I never thought the workouts were going to be as intense as they turned out. Even though, I know we get out of workouts what we put into workouts. It is great having a knowledgeable trainer giving a sometimes large group of individual’s personal attention; you are good at what you do! Thanks again for the workouts.” Darwin Arnold, Mt. Hood Meadows Snow Sports Instructor
