Product Description:
A book for little skiers
Whether they be girl or boy
Reading is just like skiing
Both bring hours of joy
Excerpt from back cover of First Tracks

Since its release in December 2004 this self-published book has achieved the remarkable milestone of having been reprinted three times and has sold over 8,000 copies. When one considers that statistics show that only 5 percent of the books listed on Amazon will sell 5,000 copies, you can appreciate the mountain that First Tracks had to ascend (and ski right back down) to surpass that mark.

With little or no media hype and a shoestring budget, the success of First Tracks can largely be attributed to its realism and the quality of this beautiful picture book. Written and illustrated by skiers for little skiers, First Tracks can be read to a child before he/she has ever tried skiing in preparation for that first time, or sent home as a memory of the good times on the slopes. Its family-centered theme is a fun, humorous read meant to reflect just how much fun the sport of skiing is.

Ski instructor and illustrator, Jeff Teaford, uses colorful illustrations to capture the innocence on the face of the central character as she contemplates her first time on skis and masterfully conveys her concentration as she snow plows (makes pizza) for the first time. Plus, her older brother learns to snowboard! Finally, the entire family shares the day together on the slopes. This is a family skiing story the way it should be when families actually go skiing. It truly is an adventure to be shared and shared again.

For little skiers aged 2-7

Product Description:
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.

Dear New Skier,
Are you anxious to start skiing but afraid it's too difficult or you'll feel silly in front of your friends? Everyone feels awkward when they're learning a new skill, especially if they have no idea how to do it and are in front of other people. If you don't want to do ALL your learning in front of a crowd, you need to know the basics of skiing BEFORE you go!

Skiing is popular, fun and a great way to spend the day enjoying nature or with a group of friends. If you've been holding back (and missing out), NOW's the time to try! Have more fun this winter than ever before by learning to ski!

Yes, YOU Can learn to Ski!

You may think it's impossible, but millions of skiers prove it's not. As long as you're in fairly good health, there's no reason you can't learn to ski, even if you're 'not-so young' and not extremely athletic.

Imagine the powdery snow, your cheeks rosy from exhilaration and the cold air, and the feeling of lightness and speed as you sail down the slopes. It's a feeling worth experiencing and one not easily duplicated. Give yourself the gift of experiencing the slopes first hand - and you're sure to be hooked!

Are you ready to book your ski vacation? Can't wait to join your friends? Want to surprise someone special? You CAN do it!

"Skiing is fun and exciting!”

If you love a challenge and enjoy learning new skills, you're going to have a wonderful time learning to ski. So why start here? You can learn the mechanics of putting on skis, understand the techniques of getting around on flat ground, heading downhill or even how to fall properly.

This information will make it easier for you to pick up the basics once your ready to ski for real, and shorten your learning curve...
