Snowsport / Ski Guide Pre-Season Program

A structured training program built to prepare ski guides for the physical demands of a long winter of work in the mountains.

This program is designed around the realities of guiding: long days on your feet, variable snow, heavy packs, repeated transitions, downhill fatigue, and the need to stay strong and composed day after day. Across three progressive phases, it develops the qualities that matter most for ski guides, including lower body strength, trunk endurance, single-leg stability, work capacity, and the durability needed to handle a full season without falling apart.

Delivered through Bridge Athletic in a playlist-style format, the sessions can be moved around your schedule to fit work, travel, and the realities of a busy shoulder season while still giving you a clear progression to follow.

Who It’s For

This program is for ski guides and avalanche professionals who want to head into the winter feeling physically prepared for the demands of the job.

It is a strong fit for guides who want to build strength before the season starts, improve durability for long days in the field, and reduce the wear and tear that tends to build once winter gets busy. It is also a great option for guides who want more structure in the fall without needing fully custom programming.

What to Expect

You can expect a progressive build that starts with foundational strength and movement quality, then moves into more demanding strength, power, and work-capacity training that reflects the repeated efforts of guiding.

By the end of the program, you should feel stronger carrying loads, more stable on uneven terrain, more resilient through the trunk and lower body, and better prepared for the cumulative physical demands of the ski season
