3-week ski trip prep

Three weeks. Legs that last.
Skis you actually use.

You booked a trip. The trip is in three weeks. You haven't skied since last March and the last time you tried to ski a full day your quads quit by 2pm. This is the program that fixes that: built around how skiing actually loads the knee, with the discipline of a real progression.

Who this is for

If you used to ski hard. And now you ski careful.

You're between 30 and 55. You've got an old knee, a back that talks, or a hip that remembers. You're booked to ski somewhere with a real mountain: Jackson, Park City, Whistler, somewhere in Europe. The version of you that can actually use the skis is the version you want showing up. This program builds that version on a three-week ramp.

Day 1

The big stuff loads

Quads in deep flexion, hinge under load, hip stability. We build the engine that gets used on every turn.

Day 2

The control work

Edge control, single-leg stability, snap-down landings. The stuff that keeps you on your edges instead of just on the snow.

Day 3

Capacity

Quad endurance, descent volume, and metabolic. Builds the floor that lets you actually use day 1 and 2's strength when it counts.

The three weeks

Build. Peak. Taper.

Week 1

Build

Three sessions. Heavy hinge, loaded split squat, posterior chain primer. We're finding the floor and laying the load. RPE 7. Volume moderate.

Week 2

Peak

Three sessions. Highest load, deepest flexion, hardest snap-down work. RPE 8. This is the week your legs do the most. We pair it with extra mobility and recovery.

Week 3

Taper

Two sessions. Quality over volume. Mobility, edge control, mental rehearsal. You land at the trip with strong legs and a fresh body.

Eight total sessions, ~45 min each. Built so a busy week doesn't blow up the plan.

What's in the box

A program. A coach in your pocket. A plan that adapts.

Each one written for the trip and the week you're in. No daily roulette.
