So in the off season now I want to start working heavily on flexibility (along with cardio and Co-ordination) being able to bend yo joints in abnormal ways helps alot with injury prevention. Soooo what are your guys routines for stretching? Do you just keep it static and stretch before bed? Share!!

I just wasn't able to get myself to stretch before bed. It is probably one of the best times... but I just get my 30mins of stretching before I train during the week. I highly recommend the side lunge stretch. It hits most of the muscles you use for skiing

Foam roll after waking up and after workouts. Strictly active stretching before, helps to do it before you even have boots on. Static stretching after shredding, foam roller if neccessary.

You don't have to get on ROMWod or anything, just do a lot of google searches and youtube videos. But fer realz, active stretches right before riding and static right after.

Ankle mobility and knee stabilization are pretty important with skiing. For ankle mobility/flexibility lay flat on the floor and push your ankles/feet as flat as possible. Also go to a wall and put one foot on the wall and push your knee forward, in, then out it should strech your ankle 3 ways. For knee stablization use bosu balls do squats, single leg squats, etc.

Yoga is good. It also helps regulate your breathing which is helpful when your doing anything athletic. I do box jumps and trail running. Stretching every day before and after exercise. Mountain biking is great cross training for cardio and co-ordination. It also helps with choosing lines I find. Cliff jumping and swimming is always good too- a fun way to practice air skills and exercise joints.
