Calf Aching - is this normal?

Hi guys,

Went to the chill factor on Monday it was great but my calf muscles are aching like mad!!!

I'm a fairly new skier, is it normal to ache here?

Just your calves?? You're in pretty good condition!!

Like any new sport, be prepared to ache in some really funny places...

Hey Gem,
yeah usual to ache in the legs. Lotds of people think about a little regular cardio before the ski season, just to get their legs in shape. You'll find your thighs will burn, immediately following long descents and you may even get a few bruises on your shins, if you're pressing into the front of your boots.
All good fun though.
