Ski CrossFit

CrossFit is awesome preparation for skiing. I hit the slopes for only my third time ever with my highly-advanced, born-on-skis That Ripped Guy of Mine(TM) coaching me and I was tearing down the mountain by the end of the day. Ok, well, turning up the greens. But still. My turn mantra went something like this: [...]
