Product Description
Screaming round in a perfect arc with not a centimetre of side slip, banked over at 45º,catapulting round the turn and exiting faster than you went in; then looking back to see two perfect knife tracks in the snow the sensation of carving a ski is just awesome!
The truth is that thanks to modern skis, you can start tracking around on your edges after just a few weeks skiing. Its the next level thats tricky. Why do you lose it the moment you ramp up the speed? How do you take up those extreme angles without skidding out?
The distinguished team of Peter Hart (presenter and coach), Sean Langmuir (former Olympian and BASI training manager) and Amanda Pirie (former World Cup racer) have the answers. And they dont focus solely on carving. They also show how to vary and shape your turns to control speed and cope with every eventuality on the piste. The DVD is packed full of extras including bundles of advice from the Ski Club of Great Britain.
Piste Performance, the second instalment from the Skiing Skills collection, was filmed across the Alps by award winning Acrobat TV. A high speed, 1000 frames per second camera was used for the first time, producing breath-taking action sequences and offering a detailed insight into the skills needed to master your piste performance and carving.

Waste of time and money. Learnt nothing. A very lazy effort. More concerned with promoting ski suppliers. Learnt more on a 2 minute youtube video.

Bought this DVD for my husband for Xmas. As we're both keen skiers, we're interested in improving our techniques. We know of the presenter Peter Hart from his great windsurfing tuition dvds. We have not been disappointed with this one. Excellent footage, breaking down the techniques you need to really carve those turns on steeper pistes. We found the new ideas helpful too as when you've been skiing a long time, you're not aware of the new techniques. Peter Hart asks the common questions we all have & the answers & demonstrations are really easy to understand. We're hoping to try out these new ideas next week in La Plagne. A dvd is far better than a book & we're going to take it with us to watch in the evenings - how sad is that! Really recommend this dvd.
