Warren Smith Ski Technique Lab
Presented by Warren Smith Ski Academy
The Warren Smith Ski Academy is famous for its level of excellence at training recreational skiers, ski instructors and athletes. They’ll be based at the London Snow Show to offer insights into ski development and help visitors on their course to ski mastery, through their celebrated Ski Technique Lab.
About the SKI TECHNIQUE LAB
The Ski Technique Lab will help skiers train specific movements, ranges, and muscles outside of a ski environment. The testing doesn’t rely on snow or artificial slopes, so it’s an ideal way to prepare your body just in time for the winter season!
Through a series of simple tests and exercises, the Lab will help you maximise your physical potential for when you return to the slopes. It will also give you insights into your physiological strengths and weaknesses, empowering you to make better-informed decisions about your skiing and even your equipment choices.
The Ski Technique Lab will guide you to be accurate and honest in how you assess your performance. These tools are here to help you self-train and improve your flexibility, mobility, and ski-specific strength and stability. Ultimately, the goal is to better understand how your body moves, track your progress, and build strength in the areas that need it most.
Take on Ski Technique Lab testing with Warren Smith’s expert team here at the London Snow Show, including video analysis to complement top test scores. Keep on eye on this page for updates about how to get involved in testing across the London Snow Show weekend.
WHy take the tests
UNDERSTANDING

Mobility and flexibility
Learn to mobilise your body and improve your flexibility in certain ranges that are very specific to skiing. When you have to do so on snow the movement will be easier to find and develop.
strength and stability
Develop strength and stability in some key areas of your body that are essential for effective, accurate, skilful skiing. Understand which muscle groups are essential for skiing. Greatly reduce the risk of injury.
equipment
Learn how your ski equipment can aid or hinder your body’s functional ability to move when skiing. This knowledge will help when choosing and buying new ski equipment and discussing your needs with professionals.
