Book Description
Ideas for the back cover of my book Skiing the New Way Fred 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.

Book Description
For recreational skiers "You have skillfully and accurately described and analyzed a brand new technique that anyone can learn in a quarter of the time it took to learn the old technique. It is a technique that empowers the student to rapidly achieve heights never before possible." -Recreational skier, Tom Humphrey For those of higher levels of skills "I have harassed you for a long time to be more interested in "cross-under" and that good skiing consist in a long S turn, not a series of individual turns. By whatever route, you have come to understand these things; and that is great. I admire the work you have done." -Master Coach, Warren Witherell "I know it has made me a better skier and has made the last few seasons interesting and fun for me and the folks that I do a lot of my skiing with." -Veteran junior race coach, Fred Pease "The Reids relay through their love of skiing and teaching a technique based on what works not what ought to work. Thus, this book is worthwhile reading for the Week-end Skier as well as the World Cup Ski Coach." -Ron Kipp, former Director of Athlete Preparation for the USST

Book Description
“Pssst...want to know some secrets most skiers never hear? Come walk with me.” What do downhill skiing and martial arts have in common? Quite a lot as it turns out. Whispering Snow applies seven key secrets from the martial arts to skiing to help you master your learning path. Ski tips and lessons need a framework and this is it. Third-degree black belt and Level Two CSIA ski instructor Steve Harris imparts decades of experience in a way meant to inspire all levels of skiers to go beyond the “how” and dig into the “why” of skiing. This guide helps students to find their way, or Tao, in skiing by incorporating essential lessons about: • Zen harmony with your skis; • how to achieve a “flow” state; • skill-building in a spiral; • a Yin and Yang approach to movement; • rhythm and timing; • learning by feeling; • mindfulness; and, • most importantly, how to relax and have fun. Steve’s unique approach covers how to build both mental and motor skills for tackling the slopes in a way that turns learning challenges into “AH-HA” moments. By implementing the seven key learning principles explored in this book, you too can transcend your skiing skills and soon be flowing on your next run down the hill.
