Since the weather is getting warmer and the snow is melting fast, the green grass of the golf course is being revealed. Not only are golf courses opening, bike trails/running trails are dry enough to use. Golfing and mountain biking are great things to do in your free time, especially when you live in Park City, Utah. Almost every trail or course you go to will have exquisite views of the mountains surrounding it. So, while the climate is perfect in the spring, not too hot, not too cold, get outside and try something new.
If you enjoy a team sport, many seasons begin right when the resorts close so try it out because most teams could use more players; experienced, or not. Soccer, lacrosse, and football are all sports that can be picked up in no time. All the teams have flexible practicing schedules and are a very fun way to stay active. An extra sport isn’t a huge commitment because you can go when you want and it is not super expensive. There are so many options when it comes to a spring sport, There's sure to be something you’ll like.
You might be super committed to your winter sport and you don’t want to join another team. One thing you can do is conditioning. Rather than trying to play and focus on another sport, you can continue to focus on the one you’ve already been doing. During the spring and summer there are lots of places you can go to train, like the park, any athletic fields, or the Center of Excellence. You can also sign up for classes to keep you fit, like a cycling class or boot camp. Additionally, there are many camps outside of town that will be in a place where there is still snow and you can train there.
So whether you want to make good use of the dry trails opening up, pick up a new sport to play, or just condition for the winter sport you’re really committed to, spring is a great time to do that. Any of those would keep you ready and fit for the new upcoming ski season. Stick with it, and your performance can greatly increase because of the athleticism you have that your teammates don’t. Find a trail, sign up for a sport, or go to a park this spring while you’re still mourning over the fact that ski season is over. Just because you can’t do your winter sport anymore, doesn’t mean you should just forget about it and stop training. You don’t always need snow to train.
