Product Description

Review

Here are six tips to ski faster: Hands forward; Eyes looking ahead; Weight mostly on downhill ski; Skis parallel; Wide stance, lower upper body; Torso aimed toward fall line. Ski Magazine 20000301 While the book is aimed at aspiring racers, there's plenty for recreational skiers. And it really is true: Ski faster and you'll ski better. 'Ski Faster' is a solid gift for that young racer, or the older would-be racer on your list. Boston Globe 20000106 For a racing guide, Ski Faster is amazingly well written, clear, useful and interesting throughout. SKi Press 19991201 It covers everything you would ever want to know about the sport, from dryland training and equipment selection, to on-snow training tactics by ski racing discipline. It also contains the most detailed waxing and ski preparation guide ever available to the public. USSA Alpine Masters 19991201

THE one-stop resource for racing instruction 23 Oct 2003

By Patrick B. Moore - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Hardcover

I was in an REI store in Baltimore a few years ago when I stumbled on this book and promptly bought it. I had read a few other similar guides but I was still having difficulty grasping the concept of a proper Giant Slalom turn. Lisa Feinberg Densmore's SKI FASTER clearly and succinctly got the message across. Helpful photos of the "wrong" way as well as the "right" way really gave me an understanding of what I should be striving for. Although I have a long way to go, this nifty tome has helped me shave significant seconds off my recreational race league times. I have only one request. Lisa, when are you going to put it all on video? I've searched the web looking for an instructional video for recreational GS racers and none exist! With your broadcast background, you'd be a natural to produce one. As my club's racing captain, I an assure you there is a market out there!

Excellent for good skiers trying to get better 6 Jun 2005

By GEORGE R. FISHER - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase

I was skiing on NASTAR courses and consistently getting Bronze medals; I was a pretty good skier and I could get down any slope but I could not break out of the Novice NASTAR category.

Technique, not aggressiveness, is everything in improving your racing times. This book will help.

Following this book's advice, I am now in the Expert NASTAR category consistently getting Silver medals and often getting Gold.

An essential trainer 23 Feb 2006

By Philip J. Purcell - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Hardcover

Lisa Densmore's book has proven to be a especially good buy as it illuminates the core of modern high performance skiing. A close reading yielded real benefits. The advice on preparation for a season's activity has also proven most beneficial. The clarity and authority of the writing invites reading this well presented book time and again.
