Discover the weak links that cause pain + injury, and know exactly what to work on before the season starts.
Starting October 5th
You'll take the baseline tests, see exactly where your body stands, and start training your weak links this week, with the same coaching + programming we use with our athletes.
For Skiers & Snowboarders
Train for the mountains, not just the gym.
Strength training for skiers and snowboarders is often ignored or misunderstood.
Too often I've seen skiers and riders do the wrong types of training, or the wrong sequencing, jumping straight into leg blasters and high-intensity work without building a base first, which wrecks tendons before the season even starts. Others do nothing at all to prep for winter.
Either way, it leads to unnecessary pain, injury, or mid-season burnout.
The thing is, it doesn't have to be like that, which is exactly why I've created the Shred Prep Challenge.
I want to give you a taste of what it's like to train both effectively and efficiently for the winter season.
Shred Prep training sessions blend strength, power, balance, and mobility to help you build a solid foundation, so you can rip hard and reduce the risk of pain holding you back this winter.
Shred Prep Challenge Overview
Monday: Performance Testing
Day 1 kicks off with testing to assess your baselines and tune into asymmetries or weak links that could wreck your season. This is your starting point, everything else this week builds from here.
Tuesday: Reactive Strength & Stability
Day 2 is reactive strength and stability, training your nervous system to fire faster and your body to absorb force without losing control. Quick edge changes, sudden bumps, variable snow, this is what determines whether you stay on your line or end up in the trees.
Wednesday: Restore
Day 3 is RESTORE, tissue work, mobility, and integration that drives recovery after two days of loading your system. This is what lets your body absorb the training instead of breaking down from it.
Thursday: Power & Core Control
Day 4 is power and core control, generating force fast while your trunk stays stable under load. Whether you're stomping landings in the park or punching through variable terrain in the backcountry, this is what keeps you in control.
Friday: Knee Durability
Day 5 is all about knee durability — building strength and stability around your knees so they can handle hard landings, quick cuts, and long days on snow. Stronger knees mean more confidence to push your limits without worrying about pain holding you back.

"I'm stoked for the challenge! My goal is to come back into this season stronger than last year so that I can throw down longer back-to-back days and more laps in the backcountry without completely destroying myself." - Shred Prep athlete

Meet Your Coach
What's Up, I'm Liz!
I'm Liz, the founder of Mountain Edge Performance and I'll be your coach for the Shred Prep Challenge!
Our annual challenge week was born out of my passion for teaching skiers and snowboarders how to train effectively for the winter season. No burpees, no bullshit.
I want you back on snow in December, right back where you left off last season (or better), trusting your body to hold up against any line you want to take. No pain by the end of the day.
Too often I see people being held back from pain, injury, or the "old age syndrome." Held back from true freedom on the snow, from pure bliss on a pow day.
Come to the other side, put in the work, and let's have an epic season!
