Fit to Ski: Pre Season Dry Land Fitness Class for XC and Backcountry Skiers

Classes Every Wednesday at 6:30 PM from October 15-November 12

Description:

This five-week course prepares cross-country and backcountry skiers for the upcoming season with exercises designed to improve efficiency and reduce injury risk. Sessions are tailored to each class, helping skiers identify their areas for improvement and leave with a toolkit to support better performance all winter.

Who the class is for:

This class will be tailored to cross country and backcountry skiers looking to develop the musculature and balance necessary for efficient movement on skis.

Instructor:

The class is hosted by United Physical Therapy and taught by Collin Atkinson, a physical therapist with advanced training in orthopedics and a passion for skiing. Since moving to Alaska in 2016, Collin has spent his winters on skis—downhill, alpine touring, and cross-country—and helping athletes prepare for and recover from their own ski seasons.
