summer 2010We all know what summer is for — getting in shape for another ski season, hiking, running, and of course, daydreaming about powder days to come. It never stops does it? I'm also busy with some new plans to revise and update my breakthroughonskis.com web site. A big project. But one I hope to finish before the snow flies in November. My recent book, SOFT SKIING, The Secrets of Effortless, Low-impact Skiing for Older Skiers, has been available since last Christmas and I am happy to say I am getting lots of exciting feedback from readers and skiers, not just older skiers, but skiers of all ages and ski pros too. I am really proud of this book. It's the most personal and maybe the most innovative ski instruction writing I've ever done. I turned 69 this August and I'm skiing as well as I ever have, but with less effort. I hope to share what I am calling 'soft skiing' with my many ski friends and especially with skiers of a certain age. Too many skiers get to a point where skiing looks like too much work for older legs and lungs. Don't believe it! Expert skiing is not a grunt sport, it is a liberation from almost all our physical limits. And this recent book aims to open the door to that special ski freedom — especially for older skiers. Caveat Emptor — Buyer Beware! When I talk about my "new ski book," I am not talking about a brand-new way of skiing, much less a brand-new way of teaching sking. To me, expert skiing is not about novelty. The basics don't change the way our equipment does from season to season. But as a ski teacher I am always looking for new images, new words, new metaphors and new ways of presenting the basics of timeless skiing to new skiers. So if you have followed my sk-teaching efforts (books, videos and articles) over the years, even though you may be my ideal ski student I suspect you won't find much "new" in this "new ski book" of mine. Soft Skiing is the same story, but told in a different words, tailored to a different audience. To me it seems logical that older skier don't want to wear themselves out. To me it seems logical that for older skiers efficient, relaxed and relaxing technique should take precedence over dashing high-speed, high-energy skiing. So that's the prime focus of my new book — working less, wasting less energy on the slopes. I'm also hoping this new book can reach a new audience. Even if you don't qualify as an "older skier," I'll bet you know someone who does. someone who can really benefit from my approach to soft skiing.... You can order my latest book on this site (click on the link above and to the left) or from amazon.com. And in the meantime, I hope this site will continue to stimulate your appetite for more memorable days on skis. Think snow! And thanks for visiting breakthroughonskis.com! Lito |
