Register Now for Upcoming Skate-to-Ski Events

There’s still time to Skate-to-Ski (STS) your way into winter fitness, with regions across the country hosting inline skating events (see below).

Inline skating is a great way to hone your on-snow skills while getting in better shape for hitting the slopes. According to former PSIA Alpine Team member and avid inline skater Heidi Ettlinger, the Skate-to-Ski program provides several benefits, including:

  • A closed skill environment for perfecting skills with heaps of repetition in a short period of time.
  • A format that allows for developing contemporary coaching language and encouragement, using external versus internal cues.
  • Comprehensive programming which, when combined with PSIA-AASI’s Fitness for Skiing and Snowboarding Guide, inspires those who may be hesitant to skate to come be part of the action.

PSIA-AASI members enjoy Pro-Offer pricing on Rollerblade equipment. Log in here and then click on the Rollerblade link to shop for top inline skates and accessories.
