Looking for a better way to get ready for slalom? Wondering what to do on your first runs before training or a race? In this video, former SYNC athlete Timmy Gavett walks through the warm-up routine he uses before every session. A GMVS and Middlebury alum, Timmy now races for Redline Racing, an independent World Cup team.

Learn how slide turns and javelins can:
• Build a clean, low-effort transition into the new ski
• Develop pressure and ankle flex over the outside ski
• Improve balance and body position as tempo increases

Whether you're heading into a training day or a race, Timmy shows how two simple drills can get you locked in before the first gate.
