Does anyone stretch/warm up/etc before going out on the slopes? If so what do you do? I have never done this but Ive heard that a lot of serious skiers do.

Swing your legs and arms around and stuff. No static stretches

as a runner, I don't reccomend stretching when you're not warmed up so go warm up on the hill then do some leg swings and stretching

I usually do a light stretch in the parking lot, then a nice full stretch and some belly breathing at the summit. Feels great to stretch and get primed with a nice view.


if I don’t stretch I will absolutely pull something, happens every time

Doing yoga the morning before skiing is legit. It puts you on another level for sure.

I take my carving skis and carve as hard as I can for like 30min, then I switch skis and go to the park. No need for streching this way, just 100% fun.

Usually have a wank when I wake up, then crush a beer on the chair.

Making the walk from the parking lot carrying my skis can get me pretty warm

I stretch or do yoga after skiing. First run I jump and jib around a bit, do tail and nose presses to get centered and if I'm feeling cold or 'off' I hike a feature.
