The New Guide to Skiing Martin Heckelman

Fat boys, carving skis, cross skis, extreme shaped skis: that is the new language of alpine skiing. The New Guide to Skiing is your ticket to mastering the sport and finding a world of excitement on the slopes.

With over 350 specially commissioned color photographs of the author showing, move-by-move, how to turn and how to maintain control under all conditions, and with its clear text, this is the guide for a new generation of alpine skiers.

Featuring more than 80 unique stop action photographic sequences, The New Guide shows how to ski with greater ease, precision and control while obtaining optimum performance from shaped skis.

Based on the newest and least stressful methods, it demonstrates how to deal with skiing off trail or in deep powder, and it illustrates the 11 specific turns needed to master difficult conditions, including ice and bumps.

Martin Heckelman, one of the most sought-after private instructors in the French Alps, has taught skiing for more than 30 years in the United States, Europe and South America.

The book can be purchased on the internet from both Barnes & Noble and amazon.com and in all good US book stores, or directly from Martin Heckelman (Mr SkiTips!) in person.
