With seasons ending all over the place, I'm curious what you do to maintain your fitness during the off season to make next season less painful, or if you even bother.

Run, hike, mountain bike, rock climb, sports, etc. I think for skiing specific stuff mountain biking might be the best because you work your legs hard.

12 ounce curls, hiking, southern hem, or all the above.

Idk im fairly active but I definitely don't try to keep fit. I probably should I just dont focus on it.

I do a decent bit of hiking during the summer. I hoping to work a bit on my muscle endurance in my legs as well this year. Maybe some core focus too.

Ski season lasts all year now OP. I used to be like you and then I realized other people are skiing all year.

If you don't have ties and have the money to do it! I don't. :(

I've been getting my bike back to par so my legs don't go to hell. I'll see if I can't get the wife to agree to some hiking this summer too. Living near the Adirondacks does have its benefits.

Backpacking is really good for the legs. x10 times better than camping or day hiking.

I used to push some weights around at the gym, but it got pretty boring. Tons of the same shit different day... I was getting stronger, but that was it. I always enjoyed playing ultimate frisbee instead of going for a run.Exercising for the sake of getting inshape is some BS. I want to have some fun while I am doing it. So I just started doing Jiu Jitsu and its some good shit. 5 minute "rolls" like a sparing match. 100% exertion for 5 minutes that covers all muscle groups.
