This has been the best skiing year ever for me. Usually I attribute great skiing to great conditions, like when it snows non-stop for an entire month. But what makes this year "The Best" is the way I’ve been skiing. My skiing has been simply phenomenal!
My personal ski revolution started as I made my rounds at the Toronto ski show. After checking out a pair of skis and looking into some vacation packages I came across something really incredible – the Skier’s Edge demo booth. The Skier’s Edge is an exercise machine designed for skiers. It operates in a side-to-side motion and works the legs and body just like skiing. I was intrigued to say the least, and I quickly asked if I could try one. After a few short minutes on the machine I was feeling the burn! I was getting a great workout and it felt just like skiing. The motion was so much fun that I didn’t want to get off the machine. When I saw the rep walking over to me I was sure that he would ask me to step off for the next person to have a chance. Instead of kicking me off he gave me a quick lesson on technique, what an awesome practice tool! I was so impressed by the workout and training benefits of the Skier’s Edge that I ordered one on the spot.
That purchase is the reason my skiing has been so phenomenal this year. My workouts on the Skier’s Edge got me in great skiing shape prior to the first snowfall, and I was in mid-season form right from the start. Continued workouts throughout the season have given me loads of energy and excellent form… and it just keeps getting better and better! My turns are powerful and well executed, I’m skiing the difficult areas of the mountain with a new found confidence. My balance is razor sharp, able to anticipate and react to anything the mountain has to throw at me. I’ve been skiing the entire day without getting exhausted and I leave the resort with a smile on my face.
One surprising benefit was the improvement in my driving distance on the golf course. The weight transfer in my swing became powerful and consistent. The Skier’s Edge has proven to be an exceptional cross-trainer. In simple terms it’s given me confidence, power and control, making my skiing and my golf game "The Best" it’s ever been.
