If you start exercising at least two months before you leave and your body will be able to cope with the demands of the slopes.
To help you get you on your way, chiropractor Dr Craig McLean has posted videos of exercises specifically designed for those going skiing or snowboarding.
Before you leave make sure you have sports travel insurance so that you do not have to pay expensive hospital costs should anything go wrong.
