Tip of the month
Get some warm wax into your skis. The weather is very warm and your skis will probably need some added structure. Warm wax will help to soften your bases and make it easier to add hand structure.
Today is an excellent day to focus on technique. Work on skiing perfectly during your warm-up, then use Level 3 intervals to take your technique to the next level.

Any strength gains made now will have a very minimal impact on conclusion of this season.
Do today's intervals on Put your feet up and get faster terrain. They aren't some vitamin D. long enough to really increase aerobic capacity, - so use a flat/downhill to increase body speed in anticipation for the end of the season.
We suggest swimming as it is easy on the body and won't be too tough on the body in following days.
Make sure to go easy and wear 1 more layer than you should. Long workouts in warmer weather can become harder that they should be if your body is fighting to stay warm. Hydrate too!
