If there is a fundamental problem with anything… Go to the source. Our society has a serious unhealthy obesity problem; over 60 % of Americans are considered overweight. Basic fitness, and nutrition are put on hold for “someday”; we spend billions assuming a pill will solve our common problems. Americans enjoy their money, playing and vacationing are preferred, nonetheless, there is a price they pay-to-play, particularly when the body has been physically neglected, and nutritionally abused. Ski Pros (instructors) love what they do; however, entry level and many seasoned Ski Pros could stand to make a better living. We also have an aging Ski Pro population, slowly becoming increasingly less spirited than their younger counterparts. This particular Ski Pro may be restricted in their ability to teach on challenging terrain, snow-parks, or pipes. There is a higher susceptibility to injury while conducting their job if not physically and nutritionally preparing.

Sound familiar?

We're heading off for a week of snow-sliding in the mountains---the first two to three days you may feel some form of nausea, headache, and shortness of breath while at this altitude. This first day you will normally push the physical limits of your body, not realizing the microscopic muscle tearing occurring while completing the physical movement patterns required to turn your skis or snowboard on varied terrain and snow conditions. Nutritionally, most people will not fuel and hydrate themselves properly; their body is in desperate need of high-octane, highly nutritive foods to sustain performance and aid in recovery. Day two and three the body feels as if it had a battle with a truck, so sore it's difficult to slide around on the snow. Day four and five are very tough also, the fatigue and soreness just hangs around and won't go away. Day six and seven you're physiology finally graduates to a small adaptation to the thin air nonetheless, your body is sore and fatigues very quickly. Day seven it's time to return home, just as the body was starting to sense relief from the physical stresses. But, the bottom line is, your trip is over, and you're all beat up.

How about those who fatigue before noon on a day trip of skiing or riding on the mountain? You're forced to take that extended lunch then only ski another hour calling it a day since your legs visibly resemble over cooked pasta. How much time did you spend on snow this day? How long was your drive to the resort? How much did you pay for your lift ticket?

A little exercise and nutrition can go a long way especially when you want to have that remarkable day on the hill!
