5.0 out of 5 stars Very useful and easy to understand, 22 April 2003

By A Customer

This easy to follow guide is perfect for those who have no clue where to start, stuck on the mountain as I was! The motions and techniques are easy to visualize and put into practice thanks to the clear pictures which illustrate each step of each manoeuvre. It covers absolutely everything that you will need to get down the mountain as well as advanced tips and techniques to "tweak" your skiing in the right direction. I found this book a huge amount of help and can now say that I ski far better than I have ever have before.

1.0 out of 5 stars Skiing, 9 Mar 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: The New Guide to Skiing: A Step-by-step Guide in Color (Paperback)

I just started skiing so I bought a book to "Help me a long a bit".
But sadly I didn't like the book. The Colourful photographs didn't really show what was happening very well. The text ,which came along with the book wasn't very clear as well. It is a bit like "photograph 21d shows this.By the time you found it, I had to go back to the text to find out what I was looking at, then back to the photograph only to realize I had been looking at photograph 22d, by mistake.
With graphic drawing / image manipulating packages , real thought and imagination, this could have been a good book.The lay out is so "Stiff" and old fashioned. The author knows his "Stuff"but his let down by the book's presentation of his skills - a sad effort.
If I lived my life again, I would give it a miss.

5.0 out of 5 stars His video series "Ski Tips" is worth buying too., 2 Jan 2000

By A Customer

Martin Heckelman is the man to explain the secrets of becoming a good skier. It is not always easy to follow a book on skiing as it is usually better to actually see the techniques performed and then copy.However I have studied the book and it runs very close to his excellent video series of "Ski Tips" 1,2,3,4,& 5. Read it over and over again and believe me you will hear his voice in your head when you ski and it is like having your own personal ski instructor.
