Book Reviews of The New Guide to Skiing: A Step-by-Step Guide in Color, Revised Edition
Book Review: Ski Lessons
Summary: 4 Stars
The book is good, the distant to the mountain is far and the current economy have me keep the book on the shelf as lift tickets have maintained their cost not in line with the current world economic crisis! But then again, there are still plenty out there that can still afford the 5 star accomodations and own their own equipments. Enjoy the snow!
Summary of The New Guide to Skiing: A Step-by-Step Guide in Color, Revised Edition
By one of the world's leading instructors, a step-by-step guide to mastering the new shaped skis. Fat boys, carving skis, cross skis, extreme shaped skis: that is the new language of alpine skiing. This best-selling classic has been completely rewritten to explain what makes the shaped skis so revolutionary--and so exciting, especially for beginners. With over 300 specially commissioned color photographs showing step by step how to turn and how to maintain control easily under all conditions, and with its clear text, this is the book for a new generation of alpine skiers. Featuring more than eighty unique stop-action photographic sequences, The New Guide to Skiing shows how to ski with greater ease, precision, and control while obtaining optimum performance from shaped skis. Based on the newest and least stressful methods, it demonstrates how to deal with skiing off trail or in deep powder and illustrates the eleven specific turns needed to master difficult conditions, including ice and moguls. 300 color photographs.General Books
