Inhaltsangabe

Ideas for the back cover of my book Skiing the New WayFred Pease, a former prominent ski coach, after teaching him the new Outback turn, which is now featured in this revision, told me this new turn has made the most significant impact on my skiing in many, many a year. Ron Kipp, Director of Athlete Preparation for the USST, said: "The Reids relay through their love of skiing and teaching a technique based on what works not what ought to work. This book is worthwhile reading for the Week-end Skier as well as the World Cup Ski Coach."To paraphrase Henry Bendinelli, Director of the Skikats Ski Club: Our week-long trip was an ideal "laboratory" to test your technique for 26 skiers of widely differing abilities. It was resoundingly obvious that they ended up skiing beautifully, much better than they had ever skied in their lives.Then, from the recreational students:Bill Rice said: Ski classes had never clicked like this before-even though I had begun skiing with the best Austrian instructors some thirty-eight years ago and had taken hundreds of lessons since.Tom Humphrey said: The continuing evolution of various techniques has added bits of pleasure along the way but none has been so Soul-Satisfying as the SWEET SCHWOOSHING SKI STYLE of Duncan and Betty Reid. What a gift! What a Godsend! Who would have believed that, at my age, I could become a better skier than I ever was in the heyday of my youth. Yet, I am. What a pleasure! Jo-Ann said, "I feel I have so much better control of my skis I just start skiing much faster. No longer do my friends have to wait for me as I go schwooshing by.
