our ankles, knees, and hips are your “wheels” of snowboarding. When open to movement, they allow you to absorb terrain, be more playful with your riding, and last longer on the mountain.
For the upper half:
Rotations (and counter rotations) are everywhere on the mountain. Yes, the obvious 360s+ but also reverse carves, hard stops, board slides, getting into switch, etc.
The primary focus of thoracic mobility (chest openers) on the other hand allows you to keep a proud posture while riding in an athletic stance. If you don’t have it, you may notice yourself leaning forward with your chest while riding.
Yes nothing can train you for snowboarding quite like snowboarding itself. BUT if you are someone who is not able to get 100 days of snowboarding in a season or you’re getting older and your body is starting to feel it, then off hill training is for you.
Remember mobility is strength AND range of motion.
