I hear you, 4Slide, the older you get, the harder it gets. But as Harald once said, the best way to stay in shape is to never get out of shape. I never really have an off season when it comes to working out, my routine varies from season to season, depending on what the weather permits, but I always have a plan in place. At the beginning of last ski season, I had to have some surgery myself, was laid up for the better part of a month, and pretty much had to start all over from scratch. I know a lot of people that don't think about getting in shape til a few weeks before the season starts, that doesn't work for me. I think that a minimal fitness level equates to minimal performance on the slopes. I know my forced layoff last winter sure affected my performance.
