Dr Craig McLean, referred to as ‘the ski doc’ by the likes of Graham Bell (BBC’s Ski Sunday) or Warren Smith (International Volkl Freeride team member), takes you through a series of exercises to get your body ready for the winter.
A big thanks to Warren Smith from the Warren Smith Ski Academy who has helped massively with his skiing expertise and Charlie from Pure Powder. We highly recommend anyone who wants to take their skiing a stage further to consider a week on the Warren Smith Ski Academy in Verbier – he’s done wonders for us! Pure Powder are the people to see for a great heliski trip.
Above you’ll find the full length edit of ‘Get Flexible for Skiing’ video with ski footage of Warren Smith in Sass Fee powder at the beginning. This video contains ten different active and passive stretching routines that will have your body ready to ski in no time. Please listen to the pre routine advice and get a check up with us and your GP to make sure you are fit to complete the routine.
