Lagree and Skiing / Snowboarding: A Game-Changer for Idaho Athletes

Growing up in the Alps, they say you ski before you can walk. For me, Mathias, that was more than just a saying — it was reality. I spent my whole life skiing and snowboarding in the snowy peaks of Tyrol, where hitting the slopes was as natural as breathing.

As skiers and snowboarders in Eagle, Idaho, we all know the anticipation leading up to the first day back on the mountain. How will it feel after a long break? What level will we be starting at this season? We think back to the best runs from the last ski season and imagine the thrill of carving down the slopes again.

But what we often forget is how the season started: the buildup of strength, endurance and technique that carried us to those amazing final days. For me, those first days back have always been a wake-up call, reminding me of the gap between where I wanted to be and where I actually was.

This year, I decided to approach things differently. I set realistic expectations but suspected I might have one key advantage: I had added Lagree classes to my fitness routine a few months earlier at KARVE Fitness.

From my very first day back on the mountain, I could feel the difference. Lagree’s emphasis on slow, controlled movements had a massive impact on my overall strength and endurance. The core-strength training and stabilizing muscle work helped me improve my balance and control, which are crucial for navigating challenging terrain. Time-under-tension exercises built the stamina I needed for long, demanding runs.

Instead of using the first few weeks of the season to rebuild my strength, I was able to jump right into improving my technique and enjoying every moment on the slopes. By focusing on fitness and performance training, I had my best-ever first day back on the mountain.

If you’re in Eagle, Idaho, and looking to take your ski or snowboarding performance to the next level, consider trying a Lagree class. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned athlete, the workouts at KARVE are designed to help you build strength, enhance endurance and improve balance, setting you up for success this ski season.
