Book Description
“Covers more information than a week’s worth of private lessons.” — Ski Magazine Skiers know that natural ability takes them just so far. Sooner or later they reach their limit and no matter how hard they try their skills don't improve – unless they get help. The All-Mountain Skier gets the reader out of this rut by providing proven techniques and methods to elevate skills and improve the performance of intermediate and advanced skiers on the slopes. From instruction on using edges on Eastern hardpack/ice to techniques of negotiating deep Rocky Mountain powder, this book contains the hard-working information needed to learn to ski any mountain terrain like a professional. Since The All-Mountain Skier was published in 1997, significant and long-lasting changes swept downhill skiing. New “shaped” skies, boots, bindings and other gear now allow skiers to push the envelope and challenge terrain that is increasingly extreme. This revised and updated edition of The All-Mountain Skier preserves the timeless core concepts and successful methods of the original book while supplying the needed changes to bring the book up to date both visually and editorially including:· Instruction on selecting the new skiing equipment such as “shaped” skies, boots, bindings, and footbeds· Advice and techniques on using the new equipment and gear to get the most out of the mountain· Replacing photos with exciting images that feature the new high-tech products
Synopsis
"Covers more information than a week's worth of private lessons." - "Ski magazine". "The All-Mountain Skier" takes you to the most difficult places on the mountain - bumps, steeps, and trees - and helps you conquer them. If you yearn for speed, gravity-defying jumps, or fluid grace on challenging terrain, here is your step-by-step guide to becoming an expert all-mountain skier. This second edition contains all the information you need on the latest equipment - including shaped skis, boots, bindings, and footbeds - to perform like a pro on crud, hardpack, powder, and ice. "Wow! This book can help you conquer the steeps of Valdez, the peaks of the Alps, the powder of Alta, and everything in between. A blizzard of information that will truly change the way you ski." - Gordy Peifer, U.S. (2000) and Canadian (1998) Freeskiing Champion, ski film star.
