Book Reviews of Everything the Instructors Never Told You About Mogul Skiing
Book Review: If you own no other ski book ... this is the book you want.
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are a dedicated skier wanting to improve it is merely a matter of time until groomed trails are too easy and real skill and flow are to be found in the bumps.
But effective bump skiing is somewhat different from groomed slope skiing. If you take the techniques (striving for carving long edge set turns) into the bumps you will be stalled immediately. The problem is that you do not know this .. This is the only book I have ever read that deals directly with skiing bumps. It is superb
As an aside, I live 30 miles northwest of Aspen and ski perhaps 80 times a year. Aspen prides itself on the highest number of skier/instructor days of any resort. Yet the vast majority of these (somewhat to very good) groomed trail teachers avoid the bumps like the plague ... Why? They can't ski them. Why? They are clueless as to the techniques required and so neatly explained in Dipiro's book.
Summary of Everything the Instructors Never Told You About Mogul Skiing
The real mogul skiing instruction you're looking for. Whether you want to ski gentle moguls with comfort and confidence, turn heads on your local mogul run, or compete in mogul contests, this book will give you the specialized techniques you need to reach your goal. In this first-of-its-kind book, mogul skiing competitor Dan DiPiro reveals techniques that have remained largely unknown or misunderstood outside of competitive mogul skiing circles. Most skiers try to ski moguls using only groomed-trail techniques, says DiPiro. But the bumps require a special set of techniques that have nothing to do with groomed-trail skiing. With an understanding of these special techniques, most fit, expert skiers can become good mogul skiers, and some can become excellent mogul skiers and even mogul competitors. For the aspiring mogul skier, this book is full of invaluable instruction. For the seasoned bumper, it's an ideal tune-up guide and a long awaited affirmation. For all skiers interested in broadening their understanding of downhill skiing excellence, it's an original, eye opening read.General Books
