Just got a most wonderful gift.
In the skiing world there is a "ski bible" that all instructors, coaches and expert skiers have. It is "The Athletic Skier" by Warren Witherel.

There is now a new "bible",,just published. It is not for beginners. It is for the smart skier who wants to get better with more joy and understanding of what makes a great skier!

It is the Ultimate Skier by Ron LeMaster. I am not selling this book and have no shares in the publishing company.

Let me just give you a "flavor" of this book with a short quote from the preface, "Most of all, I wrote this book to help you enjoy skiing more by skiing better."

If you are an intermediate/expert level skier and want to enjoy skiing more, get this book. It will change you. It will make you a more elegant, proficient skier! Yes,,it will also make you a much happier skier!

A happy skier,
Pavel

Andy,
As I read it in more detail,,pearls of wisdom are found.
There is no doubt that any skier who wants to improve will do so,,just by reading this book!

I am never lending this book,,since I know it will never come back!

I've got it from Amazon UK.

I've only just started it but it seems to be exellent, very scientific approach and full of detail.

This is the kind of book you can read over and over and keep on learning.

Thanks for the recommendation Pavelski :D

Do they have a book for the unintelligent skier? I could do with one like that. I never understand complicated diagrams etc. :cry:

As a ski teacher I'm most surprised that you've not read his work.
