Pre-season ski training

The snow is falling and we're getting excited. Bit early to be dusting off the gear yet but we are getting some dry land practice in. We're currently playing around with the Sweetspot Ski Trainer. It is a balance trainer that slips on over your ski boots and promises to help you find that elusive centered balance that is so important on skis.

It's challenging though really good fun, and we can definitely see that mastering this would pay dividends when we are out on the slopes. Wearing ski boots in the office is a bit weird though.

Can't help but think that geta, the Japanese traditional footwear, were just waiting for the invention of skiing...

If you want to get a head start on your form this season we'd definitely recommend jumping on a pair of these. Head on over to the Sweetspot Ski Trainer site for more info (and there is also an awesome free ebook on ski technique if you are look for some pre-snow reading.
