early winter 2010Welcome to a a new year, a new decade, above all a new ski season, now fully underway, and a brand-new, redesigned and updated version of breakthroughonskis.com My new book, SOFT SKIING, The Secrets of Effortless, Low-impact Skiing for Older Skiers, has been available for over a month and I am starting to get some 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 68 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 new book aims to open the door to that special ski freedom, especially for older skiers. Caveat Emptor. When I talk about my "new ski book," I am not talking about a brand-new way of skiing, or a brand-new way of teaching sking. To me, expert skiing is a timeless continuum. The basics don't change the way our equipment does. Yet as a ski teacher I am always looking for new images, 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, I think you're probably my ideal ski student, but I suspect you won't find much new in this "new ski book." Soft Skiing is the same story, told in a different words, tailored to a different audience. It seems logical that older skier don't want to wear themselves out. 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 this approach to soft skiing.... You can order my new book now (click on the link to the left) And in the meantime, I hope this site will stimulate your appetite for the best ski season ever. And to celebrate the cold January weather that always brings us cold, light, fresh snow, you'll find a new poem in my Current Writing section. Think snow! And thanks for visiting breakthroughonskis.com! Lito |
