1. Gear Up for Success
Before you hit the slopes, make sure you have all the right gear. This includes a properly fitting helmet, goggles, and thermal layers to keep you warm.

At Trout Creek, we can guide you to local rental shops for the best deals!
2. Stay Fit and Flexible
Skiing and snowboarding can be physically demanding, so it’s important to get your body ready. Focus on building strength, endurance, and flexibility through exercises like squats, lunges, and yoga. Engaging in pre-season workouts will not only improve your performance but also reduce the risk of injuries. Consider using Trout Creek’s fitness center and pool to build strength for a great season on the slopes!
