 outstandingApr 07, 2010
By Kenneth R. Evans
I am a PSIA certified instructor with 14 years of teaching skiing at a major Utah ski resort. This book is the finest resource I have seen. It has influenced the way I think about skiing and the way I teach my guests. I have purchased additional copies as gifts to other instructors. Many others in our ski school have copies. We had the opportunity to haer Ron LeMaster lecture for 2 hours on the concepts in his book about 3 months ago. The concepts he shared in his lecture and in the book are stll being discussed by us at our lineup or on the chairlift. If you want to better understand skiing buy this book, read and then re-read it. I will be studying it for years to come.

Excellent book for the intermediate to advanced skierNov 23, 2009
By W. Claire
Once again, Ron LeMaster has hit a home run. Current, insightful, chock full of useful information that you can use to enhance your skiing. The photo montages are exceptional. Related in plain language that is easy to understand with practical on-snow drills that really make a difference.
Any intermediate or advanced skier who wants to "pump up the volume" on their technique should read Ultimate Skiing. And PSIA Certified Instructors will find the content fresh and invaluable.

Gr8Jan 14, 2011
By Krzysztof Kempinski
It is an excellent book for very good skiers or advanced skiers who aim for the best or even for relative beginners who want to have complete picture of the technique at the highest level. It is clearly written, easy to understand despite being very detailed and complete. Highly recommend.

Excellent bookAug 17, 2010
By Rodrigo Andai
This book is a must have for anyone that is into gates and competitive skiing. Well written, with great pictures and sketches in every page (which is something that most of the skiing books I have lack...). Also, a true modern (2010) approach and orientation. Many of the other skiing books were written before 2005, with some concepts that were applied before pre-shaped skis.
