AT LAST - AN EASY TO UNDERSTAND SKIING INSTRUCTION MANUAL FROM A SKI GURU! Ski technique is simple and at last there is a book to prove it! Forget intricate diagrams and physical contortions. There are none in Secrets of Better Skiing. Becoming a good skier is simply about a positive attitude, mileage, fitness and an ability to assess your surroundings. Told with a sense of humour, Simon Dewhurst offers radical ski technique and simple ski tips that are seldom mentioned in ski instruction manuals. He has broken down the technical stuff and rebuilt it so that the learning process is lucid and simple. Although aimed at mainly at novice skiers wanting to improve, Secrets of Better Skiing provides plenty of advice on how to teach kids to ski as well as adults - without having to go through ski school! Why go through ski school if you can do it yourself? A radical approach indeed! Off-piste skiing, how to ski powder, skiing exercises - they are all covered, and for more adventurous skiers, there are sections on how to ski the bumps, jumping off cliffs and even speed skiing! Simon has been a ski teacher for nearly fifty years and has a vast amount of knowledge about ski technique. He learnt his craft in Scandinavia, North America and the European Alps, and he still teaches privately in the French Alps. He held an FIS licence as a speed skier, and in 1987 skied at over 108 mph in the French Cup in la Clusaz, France. Just a few of his FREE skiing tips: *USE THE SOLES OF YOUR FEET - your antennae! Look after them! *DISPENSE WITH STYLE - of little importance to better ski technique. *WEIGHT THE SKIS EQUALLY - critical for successful powder skiing. *PLANT THE POLE PRECISELY - critical if you want to learn to ski the bumps. *FINAL LEARN TO SKI TIP: LEARN TO FALL WELL & DON'T FORGET YOUR SKI EXERCISES BEFORE YOUR HOLIDAY - accept that skiing is a contact sport...with the snow - and to do that you need to be SKI FIT!Made with care and unconditionally loved by our customers, this signature bestseller exceeds all expectations.
