Summary

This book will revolutionize how you perceive skiing and ski lessonsLes Salmon draws on his experience gained over many years as a ski instructor. It is a priceless jewel not only for his ski instructor colleagues but for all who want to advance their capabilities as skiers. Skiing can be so easy. The author brings the reader to this simple realization in easily understandable language. Direct and spiced with a great deal of humour, Les explains skiing sequences, which at first appear complicated, simply and logically. This makes the subject matter comprehensible for pros and novices alike. The natural flow of movement is in the forefront of his book and Les founds his arguments logically. "Skiing is not more difficult than bicycling." This sounds provocative; but given proper and professional instruction the axiom proves to be true. What the Australian press said; In his book "Myths, Lies and Skiing" Les entertains and educates skiers with flair and fun. His simple directions will have new skiers feeling confident, intermediate skiers rapidly improving and experienced skiers wondering why it always seemed so hard in the past!"Myths, Lies etc" is easy to read and light hearted but technically punchy "how to" ski book. It will grab the reader's attention - whether it is their first time on snow or their thirtieth.Les Salmon is one of those people who make it easy for the new skier to get those turns going. Les is one of Vail- Beaver Creek Ski School's most highly regarded ski instructors. He dispenses his proven teaching techniques with a "down to earth" approach generously smattered with his biting Scottish humour.
