Making it from first chair to last call takes more than brute strength. Learn how to get the most out of your ski season with SKI Magazine and one of the world’s best ski strength and conditioning trainers: John “JC” Cole, who’s worked with pros like Mikaela Shiffrin and Lindsey Vonn. Whether you’re coming back from an injury, want to prevent them, or just trying to squeeze more out each ski day, this online course will show you how to avoid injury and recover faster.

This in-depth course reveals what the pros already know: Skiing your best takes ample prep off the slopes. With the help of a world-class ski trainer, we’ll cover common ski injuries and their causes; how to identify and control risk; the physiology, mobility, strength, and power required for skiing; exercises to strengthen your body and prevent injury; plus post-skiing recovery routines. You’ll also get a weekly workout and ski-day plan for optimal performance.

How This Course Works

We know you have a busy schedule, so we’ve designed this course to be taken at your own pace. You’ll learn through a variety of interactive formats, including video instruction, photo descriptions, and more. Each session builds on the last, and, while we’ve designed the course in five parts, you can take it as quickly or as slowly as you want. Plus, once you purchase the course, the lessons (and exercise schedule) are yours forever.
