Ski & Snowboard Strength Program: Why Denver PTs Built First Tracks.

Why We Built First Tracks

cover page to the lifting program, First Tracks: Ski & Snowboard Lifting Prep

Every fall, skiers and snowboarders ask us the same question: "What should I be doing to get ready for the season?"

Most people already know they should be training. The hard part is everything after that: which exercises, how many sets, how heavy, how often, and when to push harder. Search for answers and you'll find a hundred different workouts and no clear way to put them together.

So most people end up guessing. A little of this, a little of that, and then opening day arrives and you have to work with what you got.

That's why we built First Tracks.

We wanted to give you a plan where every decision is already made for you. Open the PDF, do the day's workout, and know it's taking you exactly where you need to go. No guesswork, no second-guessing. Show up three days a week, and we'll get you ready for a killer season.

Introducing First Tracks

First Tracks: Ski & Snowboard Lifting Prep is an 8-week strength program built by physical therapists who work with Colorado skiers and riders every day.

It's the same approach we use with the skiers, snowboarders, and mountain athletes we see in the clinic, packaged so you can follow it on your own.

  • 8 weeks of progressive training that builds week over week

  • 3 days a week, so it fits around work, life, and early-season ski days

  • Home or gym, so you can train wherever works for you

  • Full body, to get you ready for any terrain or conditions

  • Instant PDF download, so you can pull it up on your phone and refer back to it whenever you want

The goal is simple: build the strength, power, and control your knees, hips, and back need for a full season, so you can ski harder, ride longer, and spend the season on snow instead of on the sidelines.

Who it's for

First Tracks is for skiers and snowboarders who want to ride hard and want a clear plan for building strength, so they head into core season healthy and strong. You don't need to be an experienced lifter. You just need to want to feel better on the mountain this year.

When to start

Anytime before the core season. The earlier you start, the more of the 8 weeks you'll have done before your biggest days on the hill. Already skiing? You can still start now and train around your ski days.

Why $10?

We wanted the price to be a no-brainer. First Tracks costs less than a beer at Vail, and it'll do a lot more for your legs.
