Tips to Prepare for Ski Season From Two-Time Olympian Kaylin Richardson
After ten years as an elite world cup racer and ten subsequent years as a professional big-mountain skier, Kaylin Richardson knows a thing or two about carving turns and slashing pow lines—and just as much about the strength and fitness needed to do it all. After two decades of training for these unique disciplines, Richardson has a wealth of knowledge that few others around the globe can claim.
Growing up outside Minneapolis, Minnesota, and learning to ski with Team Gilboa at Hyland Hills, Richardson cut her teeth on a ski hill so small that it transitions to a driving range for golfers in the summer. She recounts, “Decent golfers can easily hit balls over it. It’s not very big but it was great to get a lot of laps in.” But that didn’t stop her from training, skiing and reaching the top of her game.
