Skiing uses weird muscles such as abductor and adductor muscles. Working those in the gym looks awkward, but it seemed to have helped me...
Learn to inline and you can work those all summer ...
the thing about MTBing, is it fun, but to be good at it, you need to tactically ride like a really good skier.
Great suggestion - carving turns down smooth hilly paths is also fun on skates.Learn to inline and you can work those all summer ...
That's why I like it much more than road riding. Besides, you can wear dirtbag clothes and not worry about your stylish spandex outfit!
Own a big mountain series......I really like it.How about this. http://skiersedge.com

- Biking in the summer seems the most common complement to skiing in the winter. Many people talked about how their skiing improved when they started biking their summers.
Or you could just not give a crap! I get awesome looks from people when I'm on my road bike with MTB shoes and baggy shorts.. I'm sorry, is this a PRIVATE club!? I didn't know about the dress code... Haha!
Biking and kettlebell workouts are great, full body, non-targeting, non-boring ways to keep your ski legs strong and your overall fitness great. Coming from a cycling background, I simply don't get tired skiing in the early season like some of the other folks I ski with.
The kettlebell workouts like goblet squats, swings, high pulls, dead lifts, cleans, etc. all build explosive/fast twitch power to compliment the cycling slow twitch. Proper kettlebell technique is developed around the way your body moves naturally and doesn't shock load joints or your back.

A dancer will do a lot better than a body builder.
You do know that's an intermediate result, yes? On the series that converges to ironic hipsterism
I look at Mattias Hargin's website just because it has cool pictures...but he does show a fair amount of pics of his training routine indoors. Seems to be a lot of dynamic exercise and core exercises. Have a browse through.. Oh, he's a pro Swedish slalom skier.
