Home > Tips > Tips and Tricks > Stretching Exercises

Always remember to stretch your muscles slowly and do not bounce or jerk into the stretch as this may cause you to tear or strain the muscle tissue! The four areas noted above are considered to be essential to the sport of skiing, however it is very important to stretch all parts of the body, neck, hands, legs etc. Skiing is a demanding sport and by having your entire body in shape you can avoid sprains and strains. This small investment of time at the front end will pay back large dividends by not shortening your ski season through a muscle related injury.
