There are exercises to do to prepare you for downhill skiing.  Rather
that try and describe them here I suggest you pick up the aug/sep issue
of SKI and/or SKIING magazines.  Every year the late summer/fall issue
they publish the instructions for specific ski exercises.  It is important
that you start these exercises on a regular basis for several months befor
the season.  You use different muscles when skiing than any other sport or
daily activity.  If you don't prepare yourself, your days will be shortened
by tired lungs and muscles.

I didn't exercise much last year, therefore by my fourth full(7 hours) day
at Winter Park I was too tired to learn and improve.  I won't make that
same mistake this year.

P.S.  Swimming laps several times a week is an excellent way to build lung
capacity.  You'll need it in the mountains.

        GO FOR IT!!!!!!!
