Free Skiing

Free Skiing - How to Adapt to the Mountain - This is the book I wished I’d had but never found during my ski bum years. I have written it from a unique position; I still remember all the questions I used to ask myself, only now I have the knowledge and experience to provide the answers.

The purpose of this book is to convey how professionals think and act in a big mountain environment. And as the book is written from a passionate skier’s perspective, everything documented on its 366 pages comes down to one single aim: To help capable free skiers reach as much good skiing as possible – as safely as possible.
