With these 10 tips from the Hotel Neue Post, you’ll make the most of the ski season – no sore muscles, no forgotten goggles!
If you want to make the most of your first day on the slopes, you’d better start the season with a plan. Every year, the Hotel Neue Post welcomes countless passionate skiers – and together they’ve gathered a wealth of valuable experience. Here are 10 tips to help you prepare for your ski holiday.
- Book your accommodation early: Winter is peak season in Mayrhofen. If you book early, you’ll have your choice of where to stay.
- Build up your fitness: Squats, endurance training, and core stability are your best allies. Just two or three sessions a week can make a big difference on the slopes.
- Don’t skip ski-specific exercises: Just 15 minutes is enough to activate the muscles you only use on snow.
- Check your ski gear: Do your ski boots still fit? Are your ski edges sharp? A quick check will save you stress later.
- Get a tune-up: A professional tune-up before your first runs boosts both performance and safety.
- Dress in layers: The onion principle still holds strong – wear breathable, flexible layers to handle any weather.
- Buy your ski pass in advance: Skip the queues and head straight to the lifts by booking your pass online.
- Brush up on avalanche and safety knowledge: Especially important for freeriders – safety first!
- Get in the right frame of mind: Browse through photos, watch your favourite runs on YouTube, and map out your “must-ski” routes.
- Ease into it: Plan a relaxed first day. It lowers your risk of injury and sets the tone for an unforgettable trip.
With solid preparation, your skiing holiday will not only be sporty, but also really relaxing. At the Hotel Neue Post, we do our part by providing you with personal service, a ski room with drying facilities, a ski pass service right at the reception, and valuable tips from the team.
Because when you hit the slopes feeling physically fit, organisationally relaxed, and mentally full of anticipation, your first turn is guaranteed to be a moment of pure bliss.
