Book excerpt: Every winter, world-class racers schuss down race courses at speeds upwards of 80 mph, going all-out for 2 minutes of racing. Die-hard recreational skiers spend weekends exhausting themselves to catch that last chair-lift ride. Professional ski instructors devote their free time to honing skills in technique and tactics to meet specific national standards. Regardless of the number of days spend on snow, all participate in a sport that demands a balanced combination of peak conditioning in targeted fitness areas, called performance abilities- endurance, strength, power, speed and agility. As part of a thesis for the completion of a Masters degree in kinesiology, Be Fit to Ski incorporates over 30 years of research on alpine skiing and athletic training toward the development of a year-round fitness program. The idea of periodization, a block-training approach using microcycles and macrocycles, forms the basis of four training phases that begin in the spring and culminate with the end of the ski season. Divided into three sections, Basics of Training, Performance Abilities, and The Training Year, this book provides all the necessary answers to develop year- round fitness training for skiing that will result in quicker skill improvement and guaranteed more vertical per day.

Book excerpt: Many people ski themselves into shape when the season begins and can barely make it down the mountain without gasping for air. Others risk injury, while many wander aimlessly, wondering what exercises will get them in better shape when they hit the snow. FitSkiing has taken the guesswork out of the ski conditioning program. FitSkiing was created because there was a lack of strength and conditioning resources for skiers. Some magazines have produced helpful articles on getting into shape for skiing, however skiers lack one solid conditioning resource for their time off the slopes. This guide includes over 100 photos and illustrations, and over 80 exercises for both beginners and advanced skiers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Training for the New Alpinism, Steve House, world-class climber and Patagonia ambassador, and Scott Johnston, coach of U.S. National Champions and World Cup Nordic Skiers, translate training theory into practice to allow you to coach yourself to any mountaineering goal. Applying training practices from other endurance sports, House and Johnston demonstrate that following a carefully designed regimen is as effective for alpinism as it is for any other endurance sport and leads to better performance. They deliver detailed instruction on how to plan and execute training tailored to your individual circumstances. Whether you work as a banker or a mountain guide, live in the city or the country, are an ice climber, a mountaineer heading to Denali, or a veteran of 8,000-meter peaks, your understanding of how to achieve your goals grows exponentially as you work with this book. Chapters cover endurance and strength training theory and methodology, application and planning, nutrition, altitude, mental fitness, and assessing your goals and your strengths. Chapters are augmented with inspiring essays by world-renowned climbers, including Ueli Steck, Mark Twight, Peter Habeler, Voytek Kurtyka, and Will Gadd. Filled with photos, graphs, and illustrations.

Book excerpt: Change the way you ski with this accessible, step-by-step classic skiing guide—part of the bestselling Inner Game series, with more than one million copies sold! “Tim Gallwey is one of the great teachers of our time.”—Peter M. Senge, author of The Fifth Discipline: The Art and Practice of the Learning Organization Have you been searching for a way to overcome your fear, trust your instincts, and ski to your greatest potential? Inner Skiing will help you do all this and more. In this updated edition of the skiing classic, W. Timothy Gallwey and Robert Kriegel offer advice on and examples of how to gain the “inner” self-confidence needed to ski well and have fun on the slopes. From understanding basic terminology and learning how to fall to nailing black diamond runs, Inner Skiing will help you: • Focus on each step of a particular technique—like the parallel turn—then put it all together so the motion seems effortless. • Analyze your fears to distinguish between healthy fear and unnecessary fear that you can overcome. • Achieve “breakthrough” runs in which you experience natural and coordinated movements. • Move to the next level in your skiing ability and feel in control on the slopes. Gallwey and Kriegel are two of the leading innovators in sports, and this revised edition refines the techniques they have perfected over their long careers. Their easy-to-follow examples and anecdotes will help skiers of all abilities—from beginner to expert.

Book excerpt: Soft Skiing is unique among many how-to-ski-better books-full of practical, easy-to-follow and immediately effective ski coaching ideas, it's also a collection of personal memories by one of America's best known ski instructors, Lito Tejada-Flores. Lito is the author of Breakthrough On The New Skis, and the creator of the Breakthrough-On-Skis video series. He has never followed the "party-line" of official ski teaching orthodoxy, and his Breakthrough on Skis books are amongst the best selling ski instruction books of all time. In this book, Lito breaks new ground, focusing 100% on the art of skiing in a relaxed, energy-efficient manner, a style of virtually effortless expert skiing that is ideally suited to older skiers. In his easy-to-follow conversational style, Lito reveals the secrets of skiing all day, on all terrain, without fatigue, without a moment of struggle or stress. Actually this is a book for all skiers but more than anything it is a gift for older skiers looking for grace, elegance and efficiency rather than aggressive daring-do on the slopes. This is a book that will change skiing lives, expand skiing horizons.
