If you want to be ready to make the most of the powder this year, these are my top six exercises for stability that you can use on the slopes and how you can start integrating them into your dryland training.
These exercises are based on two main ideas. The first one is going to be injury prevention so that you don't have an early ending to your time on the slopes. And the second is from the enjoyment side and making sure you enjoy your time on the slopes the most!
These stability exercises can also be used throughout the season in addition to pre-season and, they work as a phenomenal warm-up before you go out on the slopes.

UPDATED: I recently took another look at these Top 6 Exercises for Dryland Ski Training. Great for both beginner and advanced skiers alike! czcams.com/video/gxmJ6hOCYCM/video.html
Thank you so much for the workout vids for skiers. Our family loves them!!
Glad you like them!
Thank you!! I've never seen any of these exercises and Im excited to give them a try!
So happy you were able to find something new! Let me know how the exercises worked out. Have a WILDR day!
Looks great, just got back from a week of skiing where I felt my fitness, strength and flexibility held me back a bit. Good old CZcams recommended your channel and I'm glad it did. I'm a 62 year old skier, I only took it up 5 years ago but have some fitness through playing racquet sports regularly, and cycling. I'm determined to do these as well as I canbefore my next trip.
Good stuff! Build up slowly and enjoy the journey steve! You'll be amazed at how much better you feel during your next trip!
Ms Williams thank you for sharing your seasoned professional expertise. I'll recommend your Channel from now on
Thank you so much! ❤️ I truly appreciate the support and welcome to the WILDR crew!

Glad you like them!
First class instruction
Thank you so much
Thank you so much! Let me know how these work out for you!
Thank you - excellent advice as I prepare to ski - my dream.
Amazing!! I'm so excited for you!
Great video, thank you
Thank you!
Great job!
Thank you!
This were great workouts!!!
Amazing! I am getting so excited for ski season.
To everyone commenting that this looks dangerous or is bad for your knees. If you can’t do these movements, then skiing is probably a dangerous sport for you.
Ya I'm 250lbs and all of these looks reasonable and doable for me lol
These look like really good exercises to get you started for your fall workouts. I am close to 70 years old so will find the re-standing off the floor very difficult but it is something to work towards.
Remember to take it slow and build up as your strength gets built up :) Working with a local personal trainer is also a great option!
Norm, I am recording a beginner version of exercises that I am uploading next week, stay tuned!
Was this ever uploaded?
Hey there! I recently rerecorded this video as well if you wanted to take a peak: czcams.com/video/gxmJ6hOCYCM/video.html
love it
Thank you!
Do you roller blade off season? I do with a pair of ski poles at the local paved path that runs around a lake. It is fun, low impact (after you get over falling once or twice (don't learn on hills)), and you can push hard or easy. When there is snow on the park path you can go skiing.
OH YES! I have some old video as a preteen roller skating on our family camcorder!
I am 73 with a probable posterior root medial meniscal tear in my right knee (a metal shard from a broken digging pick in my knee during young workdays eliminates the ability to get a proper MRI). I only have issues when I ski in heavy wet snow and when I am on and off my knees a lot doing trim work (I do remodeling of houses). These exercises appear to help strengthen my knees which would be great. I normally walk 3X per week and lift weights, come fall I change some of my workout to be more ski related......could this help me for work AND skiing? Thanks for sharing, I am now a subscriber!
Hey Neil, thanks for your comment! I sent you a reply through the contact form on our website, we can chat more about getting you some specific info and feedback!
What about the number of sets per exercise? And do you finish all the sets of an exercise before going to the next one or should this be more like a circuit training?
hello! it definitely depends on what adaptation you are needing most, but I would start with a strength focus (6-8 reps for 2 sets to start) with longer rest than work, and do all the sets of one exercise before moving on to the next to start! There's a ton more info in what to do for sets/reps in our Adventure ready ebook on our website if you are looking to make an awesome program to get ready for ski season!
Well trying to get In shape for season and now my knee needs drained and or something else. How does one approach this from an injury point.
I would definitely approach a physiotherapist to work with any acute injury recovery. Then, specifically you need to individually strengthen the muscles surrounding the knee joint (isolation movements for each muscle) and then work on simple compound movements and increase the weights you use as you recover. I wish you a fast recovery so you can enjoy everything winter has to offer
On the Cossack squat, I can get to the floor smoothly, but I can’t get back up without using my hands. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Hey Laura, work on it with slow eccentrics to start, going slowly down into your bottom range, as you build strength it will get easier
I’m ski beginner. It is really useful video and Very easy to understand even my terrible english
I am so incredibly happy to hear that it was helpful! Let me know how you training goes :)
Skip the intro
i see potential knee issues with some of these exercises. if you want to learn some skiing exercises, there are numerous shiffrin videos on youtube.
Hi! thanks for watching, these exercises are all presented as options to get you ready for an awesome ski season! As always, if you don't feel comfortable with a specific exercise, you can always chose a less challenging version, or exclude an exercise that doesn't serve you! Mikaela Shiffrin is an AMAZING ski racer and watching her videos sounds like a great idea!
Why the hat? Why 2 different hats? I can't get past that.
Gotta love a good hat or toque! :)
These are dangerous and can cause injury, ruin your skiing season 😂
Hey John, these exercises are all presented as options to get you ready for an awesome ski season! As always, if you don't feel comfortable with a specific exercise, you can always chose a less challenging version, or exclude an exercise that doesn't serve you!
To everyone commenting that this looks dangerous or is bad for your knees. If you can’t do these movements, then skiing is a dangerous sport for you.
Most of this is totally useless for skiers. Some of it is even dangerous if you are not already well trained. Irresponsible video.
Hi there! these exercises are all presented as options to get you ready for an awesome ski season- done to the depth or level that suits you! As always, if you don't feel comfortable with a specific exercise, you can always chose a less challenging version, or exclude an exercise that doesn't serve you! We've also got a beginner video coming out soon that you check out instead :)
Not irresponsible. Some of the exercises could use props, a la yoga, but for the most part are well matched for skiing. See Deb Armstrong and Harald Harb for confirmation of the technical aspects of what she’s demonstrating. I would add the caveat that knee arthritis, especially, means doing these with much less intensity.
ha! seriously!
