A Weekend Warrior's Guide to Expert Skiing Books
A Weekend Warrior's Guide to Expert Skiing, by Stephen Phipps and Judy Liedtke, redefines how skiing is taught. Phipps and Liedkte assembled a team of expert skiers, with strong credentials, to help them accurately write a simple and effective guide to becoming a better skier. The authors designed a new teaching system, which was reviewed and validated by the expert team and a test group of everyday skiers. The results of this review and test were astounding, and the book was created. This innovative approach to ski instruction is called SITS (Simple Imagery Teaching System). It is a four part system that begins by using common everyday objects to help illustrate proper skiing technique. After simple imagery has been used to create the proper stance on skis, SITS introduces the reader to visualization techniques. Using the system, you simply train your body to memorize specific movement sequences and body positions so that you don't have to think about it every time you go skiing. After learning all this, in the comfort of your own home, the instruction moves outside and allows a skier to practice easy on-snow drills to prepare for more advanced instruction later in the book. Yet it never gets complicated, as the instructional information is supported with over 125 illustrations, photos, and drills. The book also helps you learn how to successfully ski the trees, powder, moguls, steeps, and crud. In addition, it goes beyond ski instruction and includes chapters on: goal setting, staying motivated, choosing the right equipment, ski tuning, off-season training, skiing unfamiliar resorts, and tips on skiing in Europe.
