A series of ski modules to help you become an Expert Skier
We at BecomeAnExpertSkier.com firmly believe in the holistic approach
to ski instruction. Becoming an expert skier is about understanding all
of the aspects, both on and off the mountain, that can influence his or
her performance in the expert zones.
The expert skier learns how to be strong and
stay strong throughout the year so he or she can ski with power and skill,
and confidence and control, in any terrain and in all snow conditions in
the descent of the mountain.
The following list includes a number of benefits that
our online modules provide for the alpine skier who wants to take
his or her skiing to the ultimate level. The modules in this series have been designed for the
unique needs of the downhill skier who wants to become an expert skier.
In our opinion, the skier who aspires to become an expert needs to become
stronger physically and tougher mentally in the fall to prepare for the rigors
of expert skiing in the winter. For this reason, we've provided a module named
Preseason Conditioning, which includes 10 ski-specific stretches and
25 ski-specific exercises, as well as a module dubbed the Mind-Body Connection
for the development of the right mind set before and during the ski season.
In addition, those who wish to become experts need to learn about proper
nutrition and hydration, both before and during a typical day of all-terrain skiing.
In light of the above, the module entitled Foods and the Expert Skier was
developed to address this issue.
Our mogul, tree, and steep skiing modules are designed to teach the student
how to become an all-terrain skier, while the powder, crud, and ice modules are geared
to helping the skier handle all the snow conditions that he or she
may encounter on the mountain.
Furthermore, after each of the lessons in the mogul, tree, and steep modules, we point the student to a ski
resort in the east, central, and west where he or she can go and practice what
was taught in the lesson. We also recommend certain runs at the above resorts
that are a good fit for the content in the ski modules.
It has been our experience that learning to become an expert skier is more
of a solitary endeavor. After each of our online ski lessons, students can go
on their own or with a friend and practice. If they fall, who cares! They can
get back up and ski the maneuver again and again until they get it right.
By contrast, slope-side group lessons don't usually work well in the expert
zones. Students feel intimidated with the terrain, stressed out being pressured
to ski a new maneuver at someone else's pace, or tensed up when applying a new technique
under the watchful eye of a crowd.
It is our belief that the aspiring expert needs to
maintain his or her ski fitness level throughout the summer months by
participating in a conditioning program that works most of the same muscle groups that
are used in skiing. In this way, continuity is established from year-to-year
since the ski muscles are not left idle for eight months at a time. He or she
can also ramp up much faster in the fall. A new module entitled Summer Conditioning
for Continuity will be published in the spring of 2008 to address this issue.
Why don't you give a module a try! Order one
that suits your immediate needs, and come back later if you like
for more. We currently have four modules available for download in PDF format.
In the coming months, we'll add five more for a total of nine modules.
We recently decided to make the lessons available on an
modular basis. Some skiers may need only a module or two to reach their goals, and
not the full set of lessons that are included in our web-based training course. Each
module contains 2 or 3 lessons from the Skills of the Expert Skier.
I hope these ski modules help you become the expert skier you always dreamed you
could be. Enjoy yourself on the slopes this season!
