It’s time to crank up your fitness program. You canbegin by adding a series of exercises to your regularprogram that will help prevent injury both on and offthe slopes. Start with movements that will give yourbody the overall strength and power it needs to build asolid base during your weeks of training, such as thesquat, deadlift, crunch and dumbbell bench press.
Try performing short intense intervals of 1 to 2minutes that mimic your effort on the slopes. Figureout your maximum heart rate [approximately 220-age]and make sure you hit about 85-90% of it by the endof each interval. Start with 10 one-minute intervalswith one-minute recovery periods between.
Recovery intervals should return your heart rate toaround 50-60% of your max heart rate. Increase yourtime by 15 to 20 seconds for each interval every weekuntil you work your way up to two minutes. If you canhandle two-minute intervals add another interval. Dothis twice per week for your best ski season ever. �

Hotel Rezia****
Why Bormio— Bormio's origins are linked to its thermalwaters, which have been renowned for theircurative powers since ancient times. The ninesprings are mentioned in Roman documentsdating back to the first century AD. Today thetradition continues in modern thermal baths,most notable being the Bagni Vecchi baths.
The resort's long history has given it a richcollection of architectural treasures which makeit a very interesting place to stay. Centeredaround the busy Via Roma, Bormio's oldbuildings are decorated with frescoes. It is herein the old town where you will get a taste oftrue Italian life, especially in the evenings. Here,a maze of small lanes zig and zag in alldirections where you can shop 'til you drop.
Bormio’s 5,879’ vertical drop is one of thelongest in Italy. Bormio at 10,000’ is not a vastinter-linked skiing domain, however it’s a greatplace for those who love to get to the top of themountain and cruise descents of up to 9 milesdown to the resort. The lower two thirds of theslopes are forested and serviced by snow making.Bormio, chosen to host the 2005 World CupChampionships, is part of the Alta ValtellinaLift Pass system with access to the slopes ofLivigno, Santa Caterina and San Colombano.
