The real mogul skiing instruction youre looking for.
Whether you want to ski gentle moguls with comfort and confidence, turn heads on your local mogul run, or compete in mogul contests, this book will give you the specialized techniques you need to reach your goal.
In this how-to classic, former competitor Dan Di Piro reveals techniques that have remained largely unknownor misunderstood outside of competitive mogul skiing circles.
Most skiers try to ski moguls using only groomed-trail techniques, says Di Piro. But the bumps require a special set of techniques that have little to do with groomed-trail skiing. With an understanding of these special techniques, most fit, expert skiers can become good mogul skiers, and some can become excellent mogul skiers and even mogul competitors.
For the aspiring mogul skier, this book is full of invaluable instruction. For the seasoned bumper, its an ideal tune-up guide and a refreshing affirmation. For all skiers interested in broadening their understanding of downhill skiing excellence, its an original, eye opening read.
