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. Suzanne M. Engels AT&T-Bell Labs Naperville, IL. 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!!!!!!!
