Discover How To Get More Quality Years On Snow, Without Knee Problems
Proven Process with Online Videos, Expert Support, And At-Home Exercises for Skiers, Snowboarders, and Outdoor Enthusiasts

Years of skiing, snowboarding, and being active in the outdoors can be hard on your knees. And aging in a sport that requires such a physical demand can be daunting…
You might already have knee pain, soreness, or stiffness…
Maybe you’ve had surgery for a torn ACL or joint replacement…
Or maybe you haven’t had any knee problems, and you want to keep it that way.
Well, the reality is this:
Whether you get 1 or 100 days on snow per season…
Think about it….Knees have to be able to handle a lot of force during everyday activities. If there’s imbalance or a deficit somewhere in the chain, then you’re probably compensating in some way. Those compensations accumulate over time and lead to dysfunction that slowly wears down your joints, or makes you more susceptible to injury.
It’s critical that you figure out your (hidden) imbalances and start moving better.
If you’re just biking, lifting weights, or doing yoga to prepare for hitting the slopes, then you’re leaving a lot to chance…and you’re not maximizing your potential.
Skiing and snowboarding are rotational sports that require stability in multiple planes. Exercises that involve controlled movement, balance, and functional strengthening from your core to your feet, known as neuromuscular training, will help you bulletproof your knees for the season of your dreams.
to reduce knee and leg injuries, including torn ACLs, by 50-67%, in various sports, ages, genders, and skill levels!
With the devastating impact that an ACL injury brings (reconstructive surgery, intense rehab, high risk of re-injury, and nearly-inevitable arthritis), researchers have invested massive amounts of time and money into finding ways to prevent ACL injuries. The results are SOLID. Exercise works.
If you’re wondering if this can really help in snowsports, check this out…
A 2020 study on competitive alpine ski racers showed a 45% reduction in ACL injuries with the implementation of a neuromuscular training program for injury prevention! They focused on improving strength and control through the core and across both legs, because skiing is a bilateral sport. (Westin et al)
You might still be thinking that there’s nothing you can do to stop a sudden twist on skis that tears the ligaments.
Maybe some injuries can’t be prevented, but some of them definitely can!
Think about this…
If you have the strength, control, and awareness to quickly engage the right muscles and get out of a dangerous position before injury occurs, that can be the difference between a season-ending ACL injury or just a minor irritation and no time lost.

to set up for success and reduce injuries
for the legs, hips, and core
for unexpected changes
in terrain and environment
for taking pressure off your knees and moving with more precision
for reacting quickly and accurately
for general
flexibility
Each module includes a Dynamic Warm-up to get your body primed and ready for activity, followed by 4 simple exercises that will help you become stronger, more balanced, quicker, and more flexible. You’ll practice keeping your knees in a safe position when you weight-shift or land, so you don’t get hurt. Each module slightly advances from the previous just as your body begins to adapt and get stronger!
Two more modules make for even more awesomeness and a complete 6 week training program! Once you get through the first 4 modules, you’ll be ready to take on the bonus challenge with ease. These modules will further enhance your strength, balance, and body control, solidifying the gains that you already made.
The mistake most people make is they don’t follow a plan that’s actually designed to help them reach their goals.
They try to do it all on their own and end up wasting a lot of energy on the wrong exercises, or exercises that don’t get real results.
Figuring out how to strengthen properly AND protect your knees from injury is a big job. And when you DON’T do it right, you can end up hurt and unable to do the things you love. Plus, medical expenses can add up really quickly.
To work with me one-on-one would cost thousands as well (although I’m not even taking new clients right now)…
And the alternative of NOT working with an expert and ending up with a knee injury can land you with medical bills, copays, and time lost during the season…

10 minute warm-up routine that can be done on the snow, in your gear, everyday, before you hit the slopes. This routine will get your blood pumping, joints loosened up, and muscles activated so you’re ready to perform at a higher level without getting injured.
3 more weeks designed to help you get across the finish line of the season feeling great! These modules revisit some of the strength and balance exercises from the Snow Course, while focusing on feel-good stretches to help you recover after long-days on the hill and a demanding season.
The only requirement is a resistance mini band. We highly recommend an unstable surface or balance trainer (i.e. BOSU or dyna disc) to get the most out of the balance/stability exercises, but it’s not required. There are alternatives provided if you don’t have access to this, such as a pillow or foam pad. We also show how to use a foam roller and stretching strap, but these are optional. See our equipment page for more info.
You can enroll a group in 3 easy steps:
One: Complete our Ski Area form or Team Discount form. We will connect via email and provide a quote for your group. Once accepted, we can send an invoice and get started!
Two: You will receive Registration instructions for your group members to self-register on the website.
Three: All participants will have access to the program immediately and through the entire season (up to one year)!
***For staying bulletproof long-term, we recommend repeating the program every year, starting pre-season.
The Snow Course is not intended for rehab from an existing injury without an evaluation by a medical professional or physical therapist first. If you are cleared to play a sport and have NO precautions for weight-bearing, range of motion, jumping, and lateral cutting, then you can participate in the course. We highly encourage participants NOT to push into pain during the exercises. We provide modifications for most exercises and participants should choose the intensity that they can perform with good form (and no pain). We emphasize quality over quantity. If pain is noted during an exercise, we ask participants to follow these steps: 1) Check your form, 2) Decrease Intensity or Impact, and 3) If pain persists, then simply skip that exercise. After ACL reconstruction, we recommend waiting 9-12 months to participate in the course. Once you are cleared for running, jumping, and changing directions WITHOUT pain or limitations, then you may participate at 9 months post-op.

While the course is designed for individual participants, we understand that families may purchase the course to participate in together. Doing the exercises together can be helpful for compliance, motivation, and keeping good form. Please keep the login credentials within your own family, as number of logins per day may be restricted and will impact tracking/progress through the course.
The problem with searching for your own “injury prevention” exercises on Google or Youtube is that you are not getting a comprehensive program that addresses all necessary components of injury prevention. It can be overwhelming to sift through hundreds of exercises, determine which are right for you, and make sure you are covering all aspects that are necessary for effective prevention. You will likely stumble upon exercises that may or may not be appropriate for your level of fitness and body control. Choosing the wrong exercises, or doing exercises the wrong way, can be dangerous and may lead to injury.

Now we have an app! Be sure to download it from the AppStore or Google Play Store.
Purchasing the course independently gives you a personal license with lifetime access.
If you are a team or organization, purchasing the course grants you access for up to 1 year. The best way to continue to reduce injuries each year is by returning to this program with your team or organization each year. Please see our Team Inquiry page.
A long-term maintenance plan should include continuing with neuromuscular training exercises for about 15 minutes, 2-3 times per week. There are a couple of ways we recommend to do this:
