Physically I don't do as much as I should to get ready. Approaching age 66 I don't push it too hard in the off season. This is one activity I do pursue to keep my quads in shape for snowboard and ski racing. I'll probably only do 5 miles on it tonight.
Very cool, never tried unicycling, kudos, five miles seems like a long way on one to me. Love the video, the suspense was killing me till you panned down. What the hell is he doing? How long have you been unicycling? Crash much when you started?
Yes, I just hope my bankrupt ski resort, Greek Peak, will open, as they say they will. I started last season at Whiteface, they got 17" the Friday after Thanksgiving, I went with every intention of skiing Saturday, staying overnight, and skiing Sunday. Well, I guess 2,000 feet of corn snow was just too much to handle right off the bat. I skied Saturday and drove home, I was sore for two days after that. I had been working out regularly prior to my trip, I guess skiing is like football, no way to get into skiing shape without actually skiing. It was surreal, as if the season had picked up right where it left off, fifty degrees and corn snow. Can't wait to put the snows back on the Subaru, hope I actually need them this year.
I was rollerblading with my ski poles last year. You can move yourself along with just your poles if you don't get too aggressive. Pretty good upper body workout. I believe they make pointy tips that will bite into asphalt. I've had a few "incidents" that reminded me that snow is a much better surface to slide across than asphalt.;-) Good low impact exercise, well usually low impact...ouch.Rollerblading is good.

Whats the check engine light on for?The check engine light went off on the 98 Subaru long enough to get a valid inspection sticker for another year. So, yes.
Off-season ski team practice was the most intense work outs I ever did. 10 mile runs. Hours of wall-sits. Sprints and lunges and side-jumps till you see red.
I don't punish myself like that anymore just to ski. Ready whenever the snow falls
