As promised in this morning's fourth annual Snow Ride Guide here are more exercises for getting fit for ski season.

1. WALL SQUAT

Squat against the wall as if you are sitting in an invisible chair. Keep your knees at a 90-degree angle. Keep your back flat against the wall and your knees together.
