Product Description:
This book is designed for people who can ski but want to improve. It takes the skier from the snowplough to parallel skiing and deals with moguls,powder, and ice. On the way it discusses safety, techniques, equipment and etiquette, and it does all of this with a touch of humour. It is intended to be an easy read rather than a dour instruction manual, and tries to cut through the hype and pseudo sophistication that is sometimes associated with skiing.
Dave Southall has been skiing for over thirty five years and has, in that time helped a good many people from the first faltering steps through to competent parallel skiing. He spends each winter with his wife of 49 years, in Morillon France, skiing the grand Massif.

Product Description:
The real mogul skiing instruction you're looking for. Whether you want to ski gentle moguls with comfort and confidence, turn heads on your local mogul run, or compete in mogul contests, this book will give you the specialized techniques you need to reach your goal. In this first-of-its-kind book, mogul skiing competitor Dan DiPiro reveals techniques that have remained largely unknown or misunderstood outside of competitive mogul skiing circles. Most skiers try to ski moguls using only groomed-trail techniques, says DiPiro. But the bumps require a special set of techniques that have nothing to do with groomed-trail skiing. With an understanding of these special techniques, most fit, expert skiers can become good mogul skiers, and some can become excellent mogul skiers and even mogul competitors. For the aspiring mogul skier, this book is full of invaluable instruction. For the seasoned bumper, it's an ideal tune-up guide and a long awaited affirmation. For all skiers interested in broadening their understanding of downhill skiing excellence, it's an original, eye opening read.
