Reviews for Steering Your Skis - Part 1

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This series is very good but there are no diagrams in the books, so when I looked up the terms used on YouTube eg pivot turns then I found the videos of the book. So essentially the books are just a transcript of the YouTube videos, so it's more helpful to watch the videos then to read about techniques.
