Pow Days and Recovery: Balancing your Winter

There's something special about a ski or snowboard trip. It's not just the rush of speeding down the slopes or the mountain views that take your breath away. It's a complete experience – the early morning crisp air, the sound of edges carving through the snow, and that unique quietness of a world blanketed in white. For snow lovers like us, these moments are what we live for.

The Physical Toll of Skiing

But let’s be honest, skiing is as demanding as it is exhilarating. Those long, thrilling runs work every part of your body. Your legs burn, your core tightens, and every turn tests your endurance. By the end of the day, as you undo your boots, you can feel every muscle in your body, reminding you of the day’s adventures.

The Importance of Recovery

Here's where the less talked about part of skiing comes into play – recovery. It’s easy to overlook, but recovery is as crucial as the skiing itself. After a day on the slopes, our bodies need to recharge. Muscles need to heal, hydration needs replenishing, and energy stores require refilling.

My Post-Ski Routine

In my post-ski routine, I use a product that makes a big difference – BUBS Naturals Hydrate or Die electrolyte drink mix. Skiing at altitude can dehydrate you faster than you realize, and I've found that plain water sometimes just doesn’t cut it. That’s where Hydrate or Die comes in. A quick mix in my water bottle, and I can feel its effects almost immediately, replenishing what was lost during those intense downhill runs. BUBS Hydrate also prepares me for an evening of Après, allowing me to wake up refreshed, no matter the night before.
