Alpine Skiing

This book is excellent as a course text or as a self-instruction guide. Its unique progression of 12 skills presents each skill to be mastered, explains why the skill is important, identifies keys to correct technique, helps readers correct common errors, explains how to practise each skill in realistic ways, lists specific performance goals for each drill, and gives summary checklists for evaluating proper technique. Alpine Skiing: Steps to Success minimizes the time it takes to learn to ski, helps skiers develop confidence, and dispels myths that discourage beginning skiers. It also shows beginners how to adapt to varying terrain and act courteously on the slopes.
