Summary: Buy the VHS, too. It's even better.
Comment: I've read lots of books on ski instruction, and I have to say that all-around, Lito is the best and most accommodating teacher I've seen. HIs book is simple, hits all the right points, and will have you bookmarking almost every page to practice on the slopes. I strongly recommend his videos, Breakthrough on Skis I and III... They're the most beautifully shot, simplest, and most inspiring ski lesson videos you will find anywhere. He teaches much the same method as expert Harold Harb in his series "Anyone can be an Expert Skier," except I've found Lito's books and videos to be much more user-friendly. Strongly recommended. Lito helped my skiing greatly!

Summary: Books that do what they say they will do
Comment: This book in phenomenal, if you are someone who fits the profile of it's target market. It does what it says it will do. This book will get you out of that horrible intermediate rut.
I am not a ski instructor, but I have used what Lito Tejada-Flores teaches and I have taken several people who have never been on snow skis. I will have them skiing confidently down blue and modest black runs on day (3) three.
I've done this with people on challenging areas in Austria and in Summit County CO, not the bunny slopes in the Midwest. I've done this with people who fit the most challenging profile of a student and I'd take on almost anyone as a challenge. Again, I'm not a ski instructor. I'm a skier who loves to see the joy in someone's face when they 'get it.'
I've never let anyone learn that (stupid) snow plough. Have you ever watched someone who learns to ski in ski school? The minute they get in trouble they revert back to that (stupid) snow plough. I'm convinced that the snowplough is an evil conspiracy to keep people in ski school for eternity.
Lito has a wonderful way of explaining what skiing is all about. The negative reviews posted here infuriate me, this stuff works!
As for the person/review who said "instead, put your money towards a lesson" obviously has not paid for a lesson in a long time. The cost of this book will get you about a 15 minute lesson. Wow, that's going to teach you how to get in line for the chair lift.
If the author (Lito Tejada-Flores) should happen to ever read this review "thank you, thank you, thank you"

Summary: Lito turned me into an expert...It works!
Comment: Lito's first book turned me from an intermediate into a solid expert skier 10 years ago. Before the book I was sliding my turns, not carving, and I was scared of ice, steeps, etc. Now I am one of the better skiers on any mountain I visit, all from learning his techniques.
This revised book is quite similar, but adjusted for the changes that come with the new ski's.
If you are willing to put in the time to learn, it does take a regime of read, practice, read again, and practive again, you can make yourself into an expert skier with this book.
