Ski Faster: Lisa Feinber Densnore's Guide to High Performance Skiing and Racing

This is a great book for the amateur skier who wants to "step it up a notch".

Excellent book

Fantastic and comprehensive. I just began Masters racing last year, and this book was incredibly helpful for pointing me in the right direction. I look forward to the Second Edition (hopefully coming soon).

Excellent for good skiers trying to get better

I was skiing on NASTAR courses and consistently getting Bronze medals; I was a pretty good skier and I could get down any slope but I could not break out of the Novice NASTAR category. Technique, not aggressiveness, is everything in improving your racing times. This book will help. Following this book's advice, I am now in the Expert NASTAR category consistently getting Silver medals and often getting Gold.

THE one-stop resource for racing instruction

I was in an REI store in Baltimore a few years ago when I stumbled on this book and promptly bought it. I had read a few other similar guides but I was still having difficulty grasping the concept of a proper Giant Slalom turn. Lisa Feinberg Densmore's SKI FASTER clearly and succinctly got the message across. Helpful photos of the "wrong" way as well as the "right" way really gave me an understanding of what I should be striving for. Although I have a long way to go, this nifty tome has helped me shave significant seconds off my recreational race league times. I have only one request. Lisa, when are you going to put it all on video? I've searched the web looking for an instructional video for recreational GS racers and none exist! With your broadcast background, you'd be a natural to produce one. As my club's racing captain, I an assure you there is a market out there!Pat MooreRace CaptainMt.

I'm new to ski racing and was searching for books about it. There's not much out there. I found this book, it was exactly what I was looking for. The author touches just about every topic in ski racing. I think this book is geared toward the beginner and intermidiate racer, although advanced racers could probably use it as a reference for racing techniques. Bottom line, it helped me ski better,and faster!
