re: Fitness Training for the coming Ski Season?
Powerwalkng; jogging; swimming; general, all round fitness; cardio and a few trips to indoor facilities such as Milton Keynes and /or Tamworth, to keep you interested and keep your hand in.Perhaps do a course or two.
Buy cheaper kit during the summer months.
book holidays early, so you have a goal in mind.
Dont take advice from whingers in forums.

myself,
I just do it all year round not only b4 season although it gets more intensive just befor it:
jogging every day,
ski machine with ski boots 2-3 times a week-same one as the one used by croatian and slovenian teams,
cycling,
power walking -weekly,
glacier training for at least 20 days during summer months.
high jumps trampoline -every day,
I think it is the most important:
the skier to have good fitness -to cope with the hard work and to prevent injuries to him/herself ...

other ski fitness training I am doing:
yoga for good flexibility , swim for general fitness,
and sauna -few times a week
so I try to keep over the top and in control for any eventualities on the slopes(jumps, drops,racing) so it can get you out safely and without muscle damage.

Tried Mont Blanc this season but after the nasty avallange accident it became too dangerous and we decended back to base so I missed the opportunity but next time is just less that a year away.
Good Journey!

I go to the gym regularly, but before my first time skiing, got told to use one of those daft blow up balls in the small of my back against a wall and squat - how unfit did I feel!! Stick to resistance machines for my thighs and bum thank you very much!re: Fitness Training for the coming Ski Season?
