GETTING STARTED
If you’ve got your skates, gear, and helmet, and you know the basics of skating and stopping, you’re ready to go!
The first thing to do is watch the Terrain Selection video.
If you’re a skier who’s used to bombing down slopes, you need to recalibrate. Start on perfectly flat pavement and nail the basics before going down even a moderate pitch.
Remember, there are no black diamond trail rating markers out there on pavement. Avoid skating where there’s sand, water, or cracked pavement.
Always know the road ahead before you skate it.
READY TO ROLL?
The Skate to Ski Training System is a progression of phases. Start with Phase 1 and perform the exercises in order. Make sure you've mastered a Phase before progressing to the next one.
Always wear your helmet and protective gear. And most importantly - have fun with this!
Click the links below to take you to the appropriate Phase.

"I firmly believe that for cross training for skiing, inline skating is a strong asset"

"The Rollerblade Skate to Ski program is the most ski specific off-snow program you can do as a skier. Not only does it train ski specific movements and patterns that will translate into better skiing when you return to snow, but it will increase agility, strength, mobility, and work your cardiovascular system as well. Plus it’s FUN!"
