Matthew Hammel, NASM-CPT Owner of Green Door Fitness, serving Denver's Congress Park, Cherry Creek, and Park Hill neighborhoods. NASM-certified personal trainer helping locals build strength, lose weight, and stay consistent — no appointments required. ## Ski season is closer than your legs think Every year around Thanksgiving, someone walks into the gym on a Monday moving like they aged twenty years over the weekend. First ski day of the season. Quads wrecked, knees complaining, and a lift ticket for the following Saturday already bought. I've owned Green Door Fitness on East Colfax since 2014, and I can set my calendar by it. Here's the thing nobody wants to hear in August: the skiers who feel good in December are the ones who started training in September. Not because skiing requires some elite fitness level. Because skiing asks your legs to do something almost nothing else in your life asks them to do, and they need time to learn it. ## Why skiing beats up legs that already lift Plenty of strong people get humbled on the mountain. I've trained guys who squat well over 200 pounds and still couldn't walk right after opening weekend. The reason is the type of work skiing demands. Most gym training is concentric. You push, you pull, you stand up out of a squat. Skiing is the opposite. For hours at a time your quads act like brakes, absorbing force on the way down while your knees and hips stay bent. That is eccentric loading, and it produces a specific kind of muscle soreness that regular training does not prepare you for. Your legs can be strong and still completely unprepared for four hours of braking at 11,000 feet. Then there is altitude. We live at 5,280 and ski at 10,000 or higher. Conditioning matters more up there, and being winded changes how you ski. Tired skiers get sloppy, and sloppy is when knees get hurt. Most of the early-season problems I hear about from members happen in the afternoon, on the last run before lunch or the one more run at 3pm, when the legs were done an hour earlier. ## The eight-week window If you want to feel good on that first Thanksgiving trip, the math is simple. Count back eight weeks and that is your start date. For most Front Range skiers that means early September, October at the absolute latest. Four weeks of training helps. Eight changes your season. You do not need a complicated program. You need consistency on a few things. Eccentric leg strength comes first. Squats and split squats with a slow, controlled lowering phase, three to five seconds down. This is the most ski-specific thing you can do in a gym, and almost nobody does it because it is uncomfortable and less fun than lifting heavy. Single-leg work matters just as much. Skiing is never a perfectly even two-legged activity. Step-downs, single-leg deadlifts, lateral lunges. If you wobble badly on one leg in a controlled gym, think about what happens in variable snow. Hips and glutes protect your knees. Your knees mostly go where your hips let them, and strong glutes keep them tracking where they should. That matters a lot in a sport where knee injuries are the classic way to lose a season. Conditioning should be the kind you can hold for hours, not sprints. Longer intervals on a bike or rower that teach your legs to work while tired. This is the piece that saves you in the afternoon. Core work should resist rotation. Skiing throws rotational force at you constantly. Planks, carries, and anti-rotation work beat crunches here, and it is not close. ## What a week actually looks like Two strength days and one conditioning day is enough for most people, on top of whatever you already do. At [Green Door](/services/personal-training) this is easy to set up because a trainer is on the floor every visit and can build the slow-lowering work and single-leg progressions into your plan, then fix the form issues that show up immediately when people start doing step-downs. You do not book an appointment for that here. You show up and get coached. If you already train somewhere else, take your normal leg day and change two things. Slow down every lowering phase, and add one single-leg exercise. That alone puts you ahead of most people on the lift. The [strength training](/services/strength-training) base matters more than any specialty ski drill. I would rather see someone spend eight weeks getting genuinely stronger on the basics than four weeks doing wobble-board tricks they saw online. ## What I would skip Ski-specific gimmicks, mostly. You do not need a slide board or a machine that simulates moguls. You also do not need to train like you are 25 if you are not. If you are over 50 the plan is the same, just with a longer on-ramp and more attention to how your knees and back respond week to week. That is a conversation worth having with a trainer, not a reason to skip the season. The other thing I would skip is starting in November. You cannot cram this. Sore legs two days before your trip help nobody. ## Questions I get about ski conditioning ### When should I start training for ski season? Eight weeks before your first real trip. For Denver skiers that usually means early September. Later than October and you are managing expectations, not getting ready. ### Can I get ready in four weeks? Partially. You will adapt some, and it beats nothing. Eccentric strength develops over weeks rather than days, so start where you are and be patient on the mountain that first trip. ### I only ski a few weekends a year. Is it worth it? The occasional skier needs this more, not less. Regular skiers keep some adaptation all season. If you ski three weekends a year, every one of them is basically opening day for your legs. ### Do I need a trainer for this? You need someone to check your single-leg movement and your lowering tempo at least once, because those are the two things people get wrong on their own. That can be us or anyone competent. If you want it built into every workout without booking sessions, that is [how our gym works](/28-day-pass). Eight weeks from September 1 lands right around when the good terrain opens. Start now and December feels different. ![Matthew
