Cold, Snowy Winter Predicted; 5 Ways to Prep Now for the Upcoming Ski Season
Plan Ahead, Exercise and Stock Up on Gear
NASHVILLE, Tenn., Sept. 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- It's going to be a cold and snowy winter season, according to recent predictions by Old Farmer's Almanac. This means great news for skiers patiently awaiting the arrival of ski season. From purchasing the latest ski gear to checking the snow forecast, SIMPLR™ Product Protection knows preparation is key to making the most of the season. Check out our five quick tips to get slope ready:
- Hit the gym. Avid skiers know their legs need preparation prior to hitting the slopes. Find a ski-specific exercise class or research a convenient at-home version. Lunges, squats and step-ups are all quick bodyweight exercises that will help you conquer those black diamonds!
- Book early to get the best value. Get ahead of the crowds and save money by booking a ski package this fall. Many resorts offer "guaranteed snow" packages, which means if not enough snow has fallen by your arrival, you can get your money back or change your booking date to later in the season.
- Prep your gear before the first flurries. Skis, bindings, boots and poles need maintenance and upkeep. Inspecting them now provides ample time for repairs so you're ready for the first big powder day.
- Need new gear? Save some serious cash by taking advantage of retailers' pre-season sales, like Sports Authority's Sniagrab event. Sniagrab ("bargains" spelled backwards) is the world's largest ski and snowboard sale, held every Labor Day weekend at select Sports Authority stores in Colorado and Utah. Sniagrab offers customers the chance to save up to 90 percent off original prices on previous seasons' ski and snowboard equipment, winter apparel and accessories. For the second year, Sports Authority customers across the country can access the sale online, exclusively at sniagrab.com.
- Take inventory of winter clothing necessities. Nothing ruins a day on the mountain faster than realizing you don't have the layers necessary to stay warm. Take time before the snow arrives to assess what still fits or needs to be replaced in your winter ski clothing collection. Make sure all long underwear, vests, gloves and helmets still fit properly.
