our start point is Saint-petersburg, russia, we gonna travel by car – so suggested places near to arctic circle seems to be nice – but too far from saint-petersburg :-( – probably other suggestions

Lets say your in relatively good shape but you want to boost your exercises up a notch to prepare it for an intense ski trip. What type of cardiovascular/ weight exercises should you do to prepare your body and especially the muscles you use to turn you body and to make ski jumps, paying particular attention to the muscles you use to ski so that you don’t feel pain after skiing from not using those muscles.

How do I avoid breaking my leg when Skiing?

Saturday, April 3rd, 2010

In January I was Skiing in Italy and broke my lower leg in 4 places. Apparently the break was caused by my bone twisting rather than the landing itself.

I assume that my foot was stopped from turning by the ski and my body twisted as I fell. Something had to give and it was my leg. At the time I was on a not very steep slope and not going that fast, the snow was a bit patchy and I think my ski hit some earth and I tipped forwards and to one side.

Do you have any tips for how to avoid breaking a leg, sensible ones only please. My confidence is really shattered and I don’t know if I’ll ever ski again. Maybe I could have avoided it by the way I fell and how I should have reacted as I fell. If I go again I intend to take some lessons, but doubt whether I will go again. I am 43 and not as flexible as the younger skiers. I have only 3 or 4 weeks experience skiing of which the first week I went to ski school.

I have recently started snowboarding but that seems more dangerous.
