Cross Country Skiing: Olympic Handbook of Sports Medicine Review

Cross Country Skiing: Olympic Handbook of Sports Medicine
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this book expecting great things given the FIS and IOC endorsement. What happen was that it forced me to sit down and read critically about my sport. There is alot of worthwhile information here, but there are also a lot of errors. It is very typical of reports about sports written by academics who do not ski. To say that because these scientists could not see "adominal muscules working, in xc skiing therefore they do not contribute to ski skating" shows blunt ignorance of the reality of the sport. Unfortunately, great scientific data is spoiled by wild conclusions based on observation not experience. Buy this book if you are experienced enought to know the difference.

Performance Skiing: Training and Techniques to Make You a Better Alpine Skier Review

Performance Skiing: Training and Techniques to Make You a Better Alpine Skier
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
A very practical book with a focus on the physical skills involved in alpine skiing. The best combined collection of off-hill and on-hill training exercises I've seen and, as a bonus, excellent race skill development tips from an experienced coach (who's also done it himself). If you are interested in philosophy or the Newtonian physics of a ski turn, there are other books. If you like to (or want to learn to) ski hard, this is a great book.

Whether you ski competitively or recreationally, you know that great skiing requires great control. Only with total command of your body can you achieve and maintain balance in motion. Exceptionally good skiing and performance skiing does not come from wearing a flashy powder suit. Performance skiing comes form the condition of the motor under all the stretch neon and Gore-Tex.

This book is definitely for the cross-country skier who is also a racer, or wants to begin racing. This is not the book for the occasional skier who only wants to slide and glide on the golf course. Steve Gaskill, the author, was coach of the US Ski Team for ten years. Since it was written by a coach, "Fitness,Cross-Country Skiing" is a very highly organized, step by step instructions for getting it top shape to compete in the demanding sport of Nordic racing - everything from 5K sprints up to 50K marathons. Everything a competitor needs to know is here, dry land training, on snow training, exercises in the hills, on the flats, roller blading, stretching, and rest days. There are heart rate charts, calories burned charts, and suggested levels of training for everyone from the out-of-shape weekend racer to the elite world class athlete. This is a wonderful resource of the competitor or one interested in total fitness.

Ski Faster: Lisa Feinberg Densmore's Guide to High Performance Skiing and Racing Review

Ski Faster: Lisa Feinberg Densmore's Guide to High Performance Skiing and Racing
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I was in an REI store in Baltimore a few years ago when I stumbled on this book and promptly bought it. I had read a few other similar guides but I was still having difficulty grasping the concept of a proper Giant Slalom turn. Lisa Feinberg Densmore's SKI FASTER clearly and succinctly got the message across. Helpful photos of the "wrong" way as well as the "right" way really gave me an understanding of what I should be striving for. Although I have a long way to go, this nifty tome has helped me shave significant seconds off my recreational race league times. I have only one request. Lisa, when are you going to put it all on video? I've searched the web looking for an instructional video for recreational GS racers and none exist! With your broadcast background, you'd be a natural to produce one. As my club's racing captain, I an assure you there is a market out there!

How the Racers Ski Review

How the Racers Ski
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I read this book on the advice of a fellow ski journeyman (now renowned Aspen Mountain Ski Instructor, Paul Wade) in the mid 70's as an instructor at Sugarbush, Vt. I've been skiing all my life and this book almost single handedly - along with Paul's advice - changed my skiing forever delivering me to the 'next level' ... the magic "it" where the "there" is. Witherall's clear and concise writing took me from an excellent skier [albeit sliding, sometimes carved turns] to an expert, consistently on the ski's edge with beautiful ripped and carved turns. Even with shorter, phatter skiis of 2004, Witherall's writing is still current and uniquely relevant, if not even more so because skiis have gotten so much better as described by Witherall [maybe even predicted? where yesterday's term "sidecut" means the same as today's "parabolic"] ...If you understand how skiis work, and Witherall documents this, you'll understand even more how phat, tapered waist, i.e parabolic, skiis will help you, partner with you, to carve perfect turns. I hear this book has been controversial, that not everyone agree's with Witherall [in Western US ski teaching camps with softer snow conditions, there's more emphasis on equal weighting and "sliding" your skis], but until otherwise advised, this book has no equal for learning how skiis work and how to carve and rip through harder packed, iced, Eastern US ski conditions. It will take you to a rad, bad and oh so fine expert level wherever you ski, however freestyle you go.

In this book Witherell provided competitive skiers with a guide to modern racing technique and offers recreational skiers a more natural and efficient way to ski than is usually taught in ski schools. More than 100 photographs and drawings.

Ski Skating With Champions: How to Ski With Least Energy Review

(More customer reviews)
Mr. Svensson's book presents detailed analyses of 17 skate skiing techniques and more. I really liked that each technique was presented in a several different ways. Anyone who has teaching experience knows that two different students may find different approaches to a subject more effective. As to 'technical errors' found by 'elite skiers' I have a feeling nordic skiiers are like musicians. It is said that the only thing two musicians can agree on is the incompetence of a third. Indeed there are a variety of tweeks and variations on each technique that will prove to be effective for each skiier. This book provides ample material for a starting point. This is a really amazing book.

My intentions are always good, but I ski rarely and as a result never improve! Howards book has given me new inspiration! There is hope on the horizon, or maybe that should be hope on the fall line! Howards drills are so clear and easy even I can do them! He took my husband from blue to black in one run and after reading his book I think I can do it too! I even found out I am tightening my boots incorrectly! There is no aspect of skiing he doesn't cover in an entertaining and easy to understand style. I would love to have a tear out "cheat sheet" to put in my pocket! (New product idea, Mr. Davis?). If you aren't lucky enough to have Howard as a ski instructor as my husband was, this book is as important as the equipment Howard recommends! Don't go on a ski trip without it! DO go to Telluride to experience Howard in person, he is amazing! He makes skiing feel effortless, a true miracle for me! That cute Australian accent doesn't hurt either!

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This book is great. A beginner or even an intermediate may find much of the information to be too advanced to be useful. Advanced skiers should find it to be an excellent resource.
The book, among other things emphasizes the importance of steering, espescially in the important transition phase between turns. (Intermediate and even advanced skiers who learn how to edge effectively, often abandon their steering skills and simply step from the outside edge of one ski to the outside edge of the other ski.) The mechanics of effective steering are explained well as is the importance of the skill in more difficult terrain.
Fundamentals are emphasized. The modifications and different blends of skills which are required on moguls, powder, crud, steeps, ice and in the trees are also explained very well.

The New Guide to Skiing: A Step-by-Step Guide in Color, Revised Edition
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is an outstanding instructional covering a wide variety of important foundational and advanced skills for confident skiing, safety & fun on the slopes. It delivers great instruction to really build a strong repertoire of skiing skill beyond parallel & carving down the mountain.
Ski lessons left me disappointed & frustrated. Instructors contradicted each other. Questions asked in lessons left unanswered, are handled here. The fundamental skills that made me feel totally at ease and free on skis were not taught in standard lessons, but found here.
When I browsed through this book I knew I'd struck upon a gem. This was what was needed to help me become the skier I want to be. I love an instructional that "feels right" is well organized, clear & to the point with solid, consistent & effective methodology. Mr. Heckelman's clarity of writing cuts right to the heart of it with logical, systematical instruction and exercises. He creates solid building blocks during beginner instruction for advanced skiing with multi-skill building exercises that are lot of fun. Sage advice is given with care and concern towards safety throughout the book.
It is an amazingly easy book to follow. Instruction is described & photographed so well you can feel exactly how to perform each new skill. It was easy to take what I'd read to the snow, practice & master. I had a blast with the exercises! As a result I'm a much stronger skier and a lot quicker on my feet/skis. It's great to feel comfortable where ever I'm skiing & smile when I'm challenged with difficult runs. It's a pleasure skating across the flats to the lifts, passing those who shuffle along. This book has taught me how to make skis my friends and an extension of me. It only gets better each time I ski. This book goes to the slopes with me & I review the things I want to practice before I greet the snow.
While no book is the end all of instruction in a sport, this book should be a first book as it is thorough, well rounded and gives a solid base from beginning through advanced skiing. There is a lot of fun advanced skiing technique included as well as sections for skiing a variety of terrain and conditions. The knowledge & skills here have helped me find the type of ski instruction I can truly benefit from. Advanced skiers may want to review all four sections of the table of contents to insure they aren't missing any skills covered.

The Totem Pole: And a Whole New Adventure Review

The Totem Pole: And a Whole New Adventure
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Although it follows his award-winning work, Deep Play, it cannot be described as a sequel. The Totem Pole is an account of a singular event in the author's life: a climbing accident in Australia that resulted in brain damage and partial paralysis. His rehabilitation is marked by the frightening uncertainty of how much (or how little) progress he will make. Climbing had been the essence of his life, and now no one can tell him if and when he will ever climb again.For an early dropout from school (at his father's urging), Pritchard has an amazing writing talent. "Deep Play" showed signs of his ability, but "The Totem Pole" brings Pritchard's talent to full flower.The only disappointment in the book is the middle section, where he switches from his narrative to a transcription of a taped diary made during his rehabilitation. The transcripts are a noticeable dropoff in the writing, but help reveal the inspired level with which the book begins and ends.A standout in the genre of climbing books, Joe Simpson fans will not be disappointed.

Sportube Series 2 Ski Case Review

Sportube Series 2 Ski Case
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The SportTube has met all of my expectations. I needed one that would hold 2 pairs of skis and poles, which it does beautifully. Add to that the wheels for easy rolling and, best of all, the fact that the tube's length can be adjusted so that it will accommodate whatever length skie one has. This is especially great as, now that ski lengths are sized so much smaller than in the past, a typical ski bag would have over 12" of wasted bag at the end of my 163cm skis. After 2 ski trips with it, it shows no damage, and appears to be pretty "bullet-proof".
The SkiTube really consists of two pvc/plastic tubes, one slightly smaller in diameter than the other that slide, one inside the other. It has a built-in handle that is quite long, to facilitate easy gripping for lifting/pulling. It has a TSA acceptable closure/lock, and will also accommodate various keyed or combination locks (not included).
The SkiTube comes with a shoulder strap that attached to the handle, but I found the SkiTube a bit cumbersome to carry (although no moreso than a regular ski bag). An optional handle to attach to the end of the tube to facilitate pulling is offered as an option, but I did not get this and so far, have not wanted for it either.
The only drawback to the SkiTube is that, since it is rigid, it can't be folded up like a regular ski bag, and so takes up quite a bit of space. However, dealing with the storage issue is insignificant, compared to the security, protection, and ease of transport that it offers.

XCD Pole - Pair by Karhu
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The poles aren't bad. I prefer the cork grip to the typical hard plastic on most XC ski poles.
These are very lightweight and feel good during extended tours.
That said, I snapped one of them in half the fourth time I used it. I had the carbon version of the pole and they are obviously not as durable as the aluminum version that Karhu makes.
I also had a problem with baskets coming off the first time out with them. Thankfully, I was leading the group and someone behind me alerted me to the problem. I really just needed to twist them down as tight as I could and I never had a problem with the baskets again.
I've been forced to go to a cheap Swix model for the time being, but I hope to go with the aluminum version of this pole and pray for better durability.
