Training and Preparing for Heliskiing
Considering heliskiing this vacation? Don’t hit the ground cold. You’ll thank yourself if you get into shape before hand, and you’ll have a better experience. Like any other sport, it pays to train before a heliskiing trip. Show up on those slopes with legs and a back made of steel.
Remember, heliskiing in super powdery snow forces you to rely on your thigh and butt muscles. A consistent regimen of walking or running before hand can really get your legs in shape for that powder. Take the stairs every chance you get. Try working up to six repetitions of eight flights of stairs. At the gym, concentrate on exercises that stress the legs and butt muscles. You’ll thank yourself when the helicopter lands.
Lower back pain is the biggest culprit for taking out skiers. Skiing takes a strong central core. The back and abdominal muscles help shift most of your weight when you’re skiing. Pilates or Yoga can really help you prepare your back for heliskiing. Rather than trying to make serious strength gains, focus instead on technique. It’s important that your body learn the proper muscle arrangements.
Build up the right muscles to protect yourself. Heliskiing can be a dangerous sport, so it’s good to have quick reflexes. Get your legs ready by drawing an X on a flat surface. Run or hop two steps forward to the top of the box, then two steps to center, and repeat for each side. This helps strengthen your limbs and build coordination. You’ll be less likely to take a spill.
Once you’ve trained for heliskiing, get packed. You’ll want to remember warm clothing, of course, but remember to keep it in layers, as it makes for easy transfer to adjust for temperature change. Helmet and gloves will be required, as you are out in the wilderness after all and a trip to the hospital will spoil any heliskiing adventure. And remember, ask questions. Your guide can offer plenty of tips and advice, even en route that can make your experience more enjoyable.
And don’t forget to have fun. Heliskiing is about enjoyment. Sure, you get to experience remote wilderness areas few have ever tread, and it’s ideal skiing snow. It’s a fun sport, so don’t lose site of the joy of heliskiing when it comes to getting ready. Training gets your prepared, but the real rush is in the experience. Make it the best it can be.
