Secrets of Better Skiing: Ski Tips Guaranteed to Help Your Ski Technique!
"Simon Dewhurst has presented a simple…manual with some advice that is pure gold." 4 STAR REVIEW - see review on Amazon.com
Good ski technique is not difficult to master. Forget the diagrams and contortions. Skiing well is simply about mileage, fitness, attitude, and an ability to assess your surroundings.
Told with a sense of humor, Simon Dewhurst offers radical ski technique that is not generally mentioned in ski instruction manuals. He has broken down the technical stuff and rebuilt it so the explanations become lucid and simple.
Simon Dewhurst has been a ski teacher for nearly fifty years and during this time has acquired a vast amount of knowledge about ski technique. He learnt his craft in Scandinavia, British Columbia and the European Alps, and he still teaches privately in France, Austria and Switzerland. During the 80s he held an FIS racing licence, and in 1987 skied at over 108 mph in the French Cup in la Clusaz, France.
Some of his FREE ski tips:
*The SOLES OF YOUR FEET are your antennae. Look after them!
*STYLE is not important to better ski technique.
*EQUAL WEIGHT ON BOTH SKIS is the secret to skiing powder snow.
*THE POLE PLANT is crucial when learning to ski the bumps.
*Learn to FALL WELL!
ERRATUM In the paperback version please note that the correct wording in the Glossary against 'Snowplough/Wedge/Stem' should read 'The V shaped beginners turn - and a millstone round your neck if not taught something more useful soon after learning it.'
