Product Description |
Unleash the Expert Skier Within You!
Anyone Can Be An Expert Skier 2–Powder, Bumps, and Carving is the eagerly awaited follow-up to Harald Harb’s hugely successful first book, Anyone Can Be An Expert Skier 1–The New Way to Ski.
Anyone Can Be An Expert Skier 2 shows you how to use the sure-fire technique of the Primary Movements Teaching System to ski expert terrain with more ease and less effort than you thought possible.
Suitable for the intermediate or advanced skier, this book builds a solid base of technique and then applies it to moguls, powder and crud, carving, and steeps.
With over 200 photos, tear-out “Pocket Instructor” cards you can take on the mountain, and a bonus DVD, Anyone Can Be An Expert Skier 2 provides up-to-date information on the equipment, alignment, and techniques that will make you an expert skier. |

IIncrease your level of skiing |
|
I bought this book for my husband who is an intermediate skier and he loves it - he has watched the DVD several times and is reading the book - he is especially excited about using the tear out guide cards in the back of the book for reference on the slopes. I am a beginner so of course I am now ordering Expert Skier One! |

one of these things is not like the other... |
I have heard it said that you cannot learn to ski from a book. Well admittedly snow, skis and boots are required (and maybe a skifield) but when all is said and done PMTS is probably the best place to start (and finish). This book is written with self instruction in mind.
Having received ski lessons 'on the hill' (and in what now may be regarded as movement dysfunction) and then reading this book (amongst his others) ... well I have been spared a "world of pain". The world of ski instruction is diverse but if you want to shorten your learning time and avoid an unending search for quality instruction accompanied by "skills" that you don't have to abandon as you improve then this book is for you.
Harald Harb espouses ski instruction which begins from the ground up and the DVD that accompanies this book summarises PMTS as "efficient and immediately effective". That it is. This book provides a linear approach which is both written and visual so it should appeal to a variety of learners, intermediates and experts and their learning styles.
Make no mistake though that at times reading this book can be heavy going, ie, it requires some concentration and diligence as well as requiring numerous readings to get the maximum benefits. Therein lies the strength of the book. You can never read it enough. You will certainly become a wiser (more weary at least) consumer regarding ski instructors/instruction.
PMTS should be ski instruction's benchmark.
My only reqret is that I did not discover this sooner.

The PMTS in this book really works. |
|
I read this book many times in the last few years. I learn something new everytime. The PMTS in this book helped me move beyond the "wedge" which stops beginners from improving. I wish all ski instructors teach the PMTS. |

Follow up to yellow book |
Not as revolutionary as the first, but a must have for all skiers.
Get it. Watch the video. Go skiing. Have fun. |

Probably the best instructional DVD available |
This DVD (book) is great for any intermediate/advanced skier wanting to improve. I think that this DVD is even better than Lito Tejada Flores's DVDs. It is hard to say, I watched Lito's DVD before this.
This is way cheaper and way better than a one hour on the slopes instruction !!! And you can improve off-season just by watching the DVD |:)). |
