Downhill Skiing Workout
Plan and track the result of your Downhill Skiing.
Downhill skiing, also called Alpine skiing, is an event where participants move down a hill or mountain, usually at fast speeds. Competitive downhill skiing can reach tremendous speeds, as high as 93mph.
Gates mark the course to show where the skier needs to turn along the mountainside. A course for competitions sets up difficult turns, areas where high speeds will be reached, shallow dips, small jumps and flat areas. The skier must adjust the skiing style and technique to succeed in all these maneuvers. A downhill skiing Workout and Fitness Planner will help you concentrate on each of these areas in your scheduled practices.
Daily preparation for competitive ski events includes both inspecting and making trial runs down the course. When the competition is in progress, skiers try to ski a very clean run, with as little extra movement and turning as possible to save on time. They take advantage of their knowledge of aerodynamics to make the most of the layout of the course for the fastest run. Every hundredth of a second is crucial, especially at top level events.
Skiers should plan their Workout Schedule so that they can ski on a regular basis to keep up and improve their skills. The dedicated skier will go to where the snow is if there is no local snow available. Downhill skiing workouts can be improved by starting with stretching exercises.
