Ski technique is really quite simple. Forget the diagrams and contortions. Skiing is simply about mileage, fitness, attitude, and an ability to assess your surroundings.
Told with a sense of humour, Simon Dewhurst offers radical ski technique that is not generally mentioned in ski instruction manuals. He has broken down the technical stuff and rebuilt it so the explanations become lucid and simple.
Simon Dewhurst has been a ski teacher for nearly fifty years and during this time has acquired a vast amount of knowledge about ski technique. He learnt his craft in Scandinavia, British Columbia and the European Alps, and he still teaches privately in France and Switzerland. He was a passable club racer, and in 1987 skied at over 108 mph in the French Cup in la Clusaz, France.
Some of his FREE ski tips:
*After your eyes the SOLES OF YOUR FEET are the most sensitive and most important parts of your body when it comes to skiing. Look after them well!
*STYLE IS OF LITTLE INTEREST to the better skier.
*Be gentle in powder snow with the WEIGHT EQUAL ON BOTH SKIS.
*When learning to ski the bumps THE POLE PLANT becomes the most important action in your new ski technique.
*Falling is a crucial part of the learning process. It helps to reduce fear, and strangely enough often reduces injury if done properly. Accept that you are going to fall a lot and you will learn to relax while you are doing it. LEARN TO FALL WELL!
