When I travel, I always have about 40 pairs of skis with me, plus a ski technician and a ski coach.
From Julia Mancuso
The truth is, the sport of skiing takes so much effort, setting up and traveling with equipment, that you can only train for a certain number of days in the summer. Most of my peers ski between 40 to 60 days. I ski about 55 days.
The best part about Maui is that I can spend a lot of time outside. My off-season is April, May, and June.
I come to Maui and go surfing, standup paddling, slacklining, swimming, and free-diving.
My best event is Super-G. I'm competitive in all my events, but Super-G has been most consistent for me.
Downhillers are going over 110 miles per hour. But no matter what, you can't hit the fence at 100 miles per hour.
I work out a lot, but I like to do action sports. A lot of surfing, mountain-biking.
I'm excited to watch slope style and halfpipe. And then, of course, when my events are done, I get to go to hockey, which is always entertaining. I also like figure skating. I think every girl grew up watching figure skating.
What has helped me prevent injuries is being connected and having my body aligned. Every morning, I roll out and then work on my core and my balance.
I do Nike Training Club, which is actually really hard and intense. I'm surprised every time I do it. I also use Map My Ride and Map My Run.
