Any other skiers on here get altitude sickness sometimes? I’ve had it at a couple of resorts in Austria and Switzerland where the common factor seems to be getting quickly whisked by cable car from a base station at say 1200m up to around 2500-3000m. I’ve felt sick, dizzy, disorientated and it can be debilitating and most importantly spoils my fun. It does tend to get better through the week. I know it’s much more common amongst mountain climbers who go a lot higher but it’s a common theme with me in that kind of resort. I’m fine somewhere like Tignes or La Plagne when staying higher up. Anyway, I’m going to try some medication next time acetazolamide, known by the brand name Diamox. I’ll let you know how it goes and if it’s any better.

Comment below and let me know how you get on 👇

I know ski boots are a very important part of everyones skiing, and I feel it is important to highlight the good bootfitters in the Uk, and the not so good (surefoot). Here is the one I went to https://maps.app.goo.gl/4yHQAKeXPD5EkjQ37 It is called the fitting mill in Surrey (South Of London). It is very new (opened in September) and I had a very good experience with the owner (Sam)

Agility and flexibility are essential components of your ski fitness, helping you improve your skiing and prevent injuries. For me, I would rather get on my bike or do more exercise than stretch. So what I have done for myself for October is that I have committed to a 30-day yoga with Adrienne on YouTube. I am on day 3 and I do it every day in the morning..so join me.. Lets do it together..
