Breakthrough On Skis I, Expert Skiing Simplified
Veteran ski instructor Lito Tejada-Flores offers an hour filled with intense and detailed lessons designed to move skiers past what he calls “intermediate rut.” Making the point that moving from being an intermediate to an expert skier isn’t so much an advance in levels but rather learning an entirely new set of skills, Tejada-Flores zeroes in on what those elusive skills are. Much of the focus is on learning to turn properly, and the camera follows expert skiers who show the “proper arc of the turn.” Drills are shown during which students are urged to visualize skiing on one foot to get the idea in their head that the “outside ski” during a turn has to handle all the action. The camera work is very good throughout, with much of the action shown in close-ups on the feet. Slow-motion footage is used judiciously to show precisely how a skier should position himself when making perfect turns. The lessons in this video contain a wealth of detail, yet it’s presented in a manner that would make it easy to remember, and putting the lessons to work out on the slopes would no doubt be a good way to increase one’s skill level. Also included is a booklet that essentially duplicates the information on the video. –Robert J. McNamara
