- mountain biking for aerobic fitness + leg strength/stamina.
- roller blading?
- swimming for overall fitness but what about the legs???
- stepper machine in the lounge! ;)
Any opinions? What do you do when away from the mountains?

No one activity can cover all that is required in skiing.
As note above running or in line skating are excellent
Before I give my favorites, we should all accept that it is above a question of life style! Exercising for two hours once a week then eating fast foods does not help!
My typical program is;
1 hour of swimming non-stop laps n( every day)
2 hours ( 3 times per weeks of light weights many reps ) of weights Free and pulley
Every second weekend walking up ski center.
PS
I never take elevator
I walk instead of taking car to corner store
Starting in August I do stomach crunches with ski boots ( sets of 100)
I do every day 30 minutes on pivot board!
Everyone has to find workout they like and that makes them happy!
