- Synopsis:
The first video in Lito's breakthrough on skis series focuses on the all-important transition from average intermediate skiing (the famous intermediate rut) into the freer, more satisfying world of the expert skier. This classic ski-instruction video set a new standard of simplicity and clarity in the ski-teaching world. Lito makes the point that expert skiing is no harder than intermediate skiing -- it's merely different. The mysteries of expert skiing are distilled into three key steps:
1. Learning to ride the outside ski of the turn in clean round arcs.
2. Developing a bombproof parallel start through early weight shift; and finally,3. Mastering short linked turns, straight down the slope, by practicing dynamic anticipation - a movement pattern where the skier's legs and feet turn from side to side, but the upper body does not....
Everything Lito presents in this first 'Breakthrough on Skis' video applies directly to skiing on the new shaped skis - only shaped skis require even less effort...and deliver even better turns. Lito's explanation and demonstration of short linked turns with anticipation is a must, a wonderfully clear presentation of this critical expert skill - the indispensable hallmark of expert skiing.- Actors:
