Advanced Skier reviews Building Blocks Instructional DVD’s

Over the years I’ve tried learning to ski through magazines, books, asking questions from random strangers on the slopes, and of course by simply doing. Personal lessons usually seemed to leave me with more questions than answers because like many before me, I had little money or time to be be consistent with them. while these half-hazard ways do work to a point, in the end your always left with disappointment. While there is no substitute for on hill training, these videos surely take a lot of the guess work out of the learning process, and I truly believe an outstanding supplement for anybody currently in ski school. It only took 4 days of on snow experience myself to quickly realize the benefits of the drills. While some of the exercises were definitely challenging, the videos were very well organized and extremely focused, as well as the individual drills being very easy to understand. It should also be noted that the (Author/coach) of these videos is generous beyond reason, sharing his knowledge and expertise through a free online community based skier website well after your purchase. Have questions about a technique or movement, even if its not shown in the videos? He’s there to help you all the way!

Two Quick disclaimers: Because of the physical challenges and inherent dangers of any sport, I Must recommend that someone just starting out always take on snow lessons first. Get to know the sport, and learn to feel comfortable with the chairlift and making it down basic green runs on your own safely. But after that, if your still sold on getting better, please do yourself a favor and get to know the coach and try out one of his DVDs. I’ve learned over time that good experiences don’t wait around forever. Take a chance like I did. I think you might be pleasantly surprised!

Lastly, as an advanced skier, the first thing I wanted to do was get the advanced DVDs. Makes sense right? Luckily coach pushed me to start at the beginning, and I’ve since discovered that I couldn’t advance because of a lack of basic skills. Ironically I am now driven to focus on those instead. Funny how quickly your mind can change when being correctly guided down the right path…..

Good job coach!
