LEG PRESSThis is a classic for building strong quads, and it comes as no surprise that it's a prime part of the U.S. Ski Team workout. In addition to the standard two-leg push, experts suggest varying the movement and pace to work a greater range of muscles. Try pushing with two legs and then lowering with one, says Andy Walshe, director of sport science for the team. Other options: Push down and up with one leg, and slow the pace with a count of eight up and eight down. >Why Do It Strong quads directly translate to strength and stability on the hill. They contribute to form, keeping you forward in your boots, and function, helping you steer and brake.>Watch Out Be sure that when you adjust the seat, your torso and thighs form a 90-degree angle in the ending position. An angle greater than 90 degrees will stress your knees and increase your chance of injury.

PRIDE OF RUMFORDSkiers with Scandinavian backgrounds strongly favored cross-country and jumping events, eschewing flashier alpine pursuits. Drawn by work at local paper mills, many such immigrants settled in New England towns. Here, high-school sophomore Aurele Legere, winner of a jumping contest at Rumford, Maine's 1935 Winter Carnival, poses with his skis. The event drew 5,000 spectators-a bigger audience than most North American World Cup races see today. Photo courtesy of The New England Ski Museum Collection
