Customer Reviews: Read 13 more reviews... Time-warp?? November 27, 2008Ole Bjrsvik (5172 Loddefjord, - Norway) Is this a time-warp back to the very early nineties?? I've worked myself through this DVD three times, and I've had to pay really close attention to find any small point I can work with. Well, I've found some very few things, and not all of them new. But I can't show this to anyone, it's just too embarrassing. -- Swedish magazines gave two-page lectures that far surpassed this in 1999, and this is like looking back to a time well before that. People that haven't been skiing for fifteen years skies like this. I wonder why? Perhaps because it locks you to gentle soft slopes? IIncrease your level of skiing October 6, 2008Jinda (Colorado) I bought this book for my husband who is an intermediate skier and he loves it - he has watched the DVD several times and is reading the book - he is especially excited about using the tear out guide cards in the back of the book for reference on the slopes. I am a beginner so of course I am now ordering Expert Skier One! one of these things is not like the other... December 17, 2007D. Grbic (new zealand) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful I have heard it said that you cannot learn to ski from a book. Well admittedly snow, skis and boots are required (and maybe a skifield) but when all is said and done PMTS is probably the best place to start (and finish). This book is written with self instruction in mind. Having received ski lessons 'on the hill' (and in what now may be regarded as movement dysfunction) and then reading this book (amongst his others) ... well I have been spared a "world of pain". The world of ski instruction is diverse but if you want to shorten your learning time and avoid an unending search for quality instruction accompanied by "skills" that you don't have to abandon as you improve then this book is for you. Harald Harb espouses ski instruction which begins from the ground up and the DVD that accompanies this book summarises PMTS as "efficient and immediately effective". That it is. This book provides a linear approach which is both written and visual so it should appeal to a variety of learners, intermediates and experts and their learning styles. Make no mistake though that at times reading this book can be heavy going, ie, it requires some concentration and diligence as well as requiring numerous readings to get the maximum benefits. Therein lies the strength of the book. You can never read it enough. You will certainly become a wiser (more weary at least) consumer regarding ski instructors/instruction. PMTS should be ski instruction's benchmark. My only reqret is that I did not discover this sooner. The PMTS in this book really works. July 7, 2007KFC (IL) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful I read this book many times in the last few years. I learn something new everytime. The PMTS in this book helped me move beyond the "wedge" which stops beginners from improving. I wish all ski instructors teach the PMTS. Follow up to yellow book April 8, 2007KenAmazonO (Midwest, USA) Not as revolutionary as the first, but a must have for all skiers. Get it. Watch the video. Go skiing. Have fun. | |||||||||||
