 "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."
