Breakthrough on the New Skis 3 Ed: Say Goodbye to the Intermediate Blues

In the tradition of his previous book (the best-selling ski-instruction manual of all time), Lito Tejada-Flores explains how average-to-intermediate alpine skiers can rise to the highest levels of proficiency. Unlike conventional instructors, the author takes a maverick approach, addressing the most commonly experienced desires and frustrations of the majority of skiers. He shows how taking advantage of today's revolutionary new ski designs can help skiers achieve a whole new level of performance. This edition is completely rewritten with 40 percent new material.

If you are a "terminal intermediate" skier who can handle moderate slopes but come unglued on the steeps, powder, and bumps, Breakthrough on the New Skis offers a simple, innovative path to expert skiing based on a few key movements using modern shaped skis to full advantage.

Lito Tejada-Flores believes that expert skiing is no harder than average, intermediate level skiing and he proves it by showing you:

How your new super-sidecut skis will do most of the work in carving and turning.

How you can link effortless short turns down the steepest slopes.

How you can relax your way through the toughest moguls and relish the deepest powder.

How you can ski harder and longer than ever before with far less muscle fatigue.

A completely new book with new images and new insights on expert skiing, Lito has added a chapter that will get beginners started quickly while avoiding that infamous intermediate rut.
