Falls and collision are the main source of injury for snowboarding and skiing – the best thing you can do is some dry land training exercises to stabilize and strengthen the core, legs, shoulders and arms. A little warm up goes a long way. Warm up before your first runs and choose a few easier slopes to warm up before hitting those double blacks and glades.

Make a tall proud chest before getting up.
When we sit we all get to that position of “comfort” where our pelvis rounds backward (or posterior tilt). I tell my patient not to get up from position they have stressed their spine when sitting. Making a tall chest or elongating the spine put the pelvis and spine in a better position. This position allows your spine to distribute the load and you to have better access to use your gluts and core.
So before getting up make sure you have a proud chest or tall spine.
