 "SKIING IS A SLIDING SPORT"
--a skiing web manual

by Bill Jones, Ski Instructor
Certified Professional Ski Instructor (Registration #110478)

"With their kinesthetic beauty and fluidity, well-executed turns can be as pleasing to watch as they are to perform.
 In fact, when power and grace are combined, skiing is an art form."

  --Jean Louis Poirot in The Professional Skier, Spring 2004, p. 30

 Skiing Web Manual Contents

The first-time skier appeared nervous and asked that the instructor ski beside her and hold her arm as she moved at snails-pace down the gently inclined snow surface. At the end of the short descent, however, she turned to her instructor and said, "You know, it's the sliding part I don't like."
