Ski Prep Programme 2026
Ski Fitness Training in Dartmouth
Skiing places high physical demands on your legs, hips, and trunk — especially when fatigue sets in.
Most recreational skiers aren’t injured because they ski badly.
They’re injured because they’re underprepared.
The Poseidon Ski Prep Programme is a structured 4–6 week ski fitness programme in Dartmouth designed to make you stronger, fitter, and harder to break before you hit the slopes.
We don’t promise injury prevention.
We build physical capacity so your body copes better with the demands of skiing.
Who This Ski Prep Programme Is For
This programme is ideal for adults who:
Ski 1–2 weeks per year
Are aged 30–65
Want to reduce knee, hip or back issues while skiing
Feel fatigue ruins their skiing after the first few days
Want to arrive on the mountain physically prepared
This is not ski instruction.
This is ski-specific strength and conditioning.
Why Ski Fitness Training Matters
Skiing is repetitive, high-load, and fatigue-driven.
Common issues we see in skiers include:
Quad fatigue leading to poor control
Knee pain later in the day
Reduced hip stability
Lower-back stiffness
Loss of confidence as fatigue builds
Our ski fitness training focuses on building tolerance, not chasing perfect movement.
Because skiing doesn’t fail when you’re fresh —
it fails when you’re tired.
How the Poseidon Ski Prep Programme Works
Initial Ski Readiness Assessment
Every programme begins with an in-depth assessment at our Dartmouth studio.
We assess:
Lower-body strength and endurance
Hip and trunk control
Ankle and foot load tolerance
General conditioning capacity
Injury and ski history
This allows us to tailor your training based on what your body can currently tolerate — not generic ski workouts.
4–6 Weeks of Coached Ski Fitness Training
You train 2–3 times per week in a small group or semi-private setting.
Sessions focus on:
Eccentric leg strength (especially quads)
Hip and trunk control under fatigue
Deceleration and braking mechanics
Conditioning for long ski days
Building confidence through preparation
All sessions are coached, progressive, and designed to transfer to skiing.
No gimmicks.
No pseudoscience.
Just effective preparation.
Re-Test & Exit Briefing
At the end of your programme we reassess key capacity markers and review progress.
You leave with:
Clear evidence of improved strength and tolerance
Greater confidence in your physical preparation
Practical advice for managing your first days on the mountain
