Please see www.skiwellsimply.com for book reviews, excerpts and
customer testimonials If you believe that ski technique is the key
to having the most fun possible, anywhere on the mountain and
whatever the snow condition, then you believe what I believe. Why
be limited to having fun only on big powder days, or only when the
snow is flawlessly groomed, or only when it is soft and forgiving?
I'm constantly searching for the simplest way to ski that delivers
a maximum of fun for a minimum of effort-whether I'm teaching other
skiers, carving arcs on hard snow, or porpoising down steep and
deep powder. What are the expert skiing techniques that allow me to
ski with confidence, excitement, and fun, regardless of terrain and
condition?* While training to improve my skiing, for free skiing,
racing and ski instructing, I began receiving very positive, and at
times glowing, feedback from world class trainers and coaches. It
got me thinking about 'how' I was skiing, what exactly I was doing
and feeling. After all, there were only a handful of things I was
focusing on. And interestingly, some things I was doing were at
odds with what I was being told to do Yet the results were
convincing. I began wondering if I may have something worth
sharing, a simple and effective approach for 'how to ski', that
might help others to enjoy skiing as much as I do. To resolve my
wondering, I wrote down how I ski, and for originality, titled it
How I Ski (with the added tagline: Expert Alpine Skiing Demystified
). The book described my skiing approach and how and why it works,
along with advice for different skiing situations, and how to
practice skiing-related movements when not on the hill. Throughout,
I sought brevity, relevance and clarity, aiming at maximum impact
for minimum reading time. The response to this first edition
confirmed its value, and highlighted areas where more clarity and
completeness would make it even better. The second edition added
many diagrams and improved descriptions. To test its mettle, I then
asked highly capable athletes and coaches to read it and endorse it
if they felt it was 'testimonial worthy'. To my delight, they all
did Since those endorsements, I have continued to tune the content
based on feedback from readers, as well as new learning and
awareness through using the content when teaching others. The
current product (the fourth edition) is a compact package that I'm
confident will be well worth your time to read and ponder in
relation to your own skiing approach and objectives. Thank you for
reading *You guessed it-the expert techniques are all in the book
