Tipping -- using the feet to tilt the skis on and off edge -- is the movement foundation of PMTS. This DVD helps you to learn and practice tipping with dryland, stationary, and moving exercises. Isolate the movement then integrate it into your skiing. Exercises for all level skiers, novices through experts, allow all viewers to practice and improve.

In skiing, what you do with your upper body can either help or hinder your tipping and your balance on your edges. Learn in this DVD how to balance over your skis and use your upper body to enhance your tipping. Also, learn how to use your poles so that your pole swing and touch help with your balance, edging, and timing.

With the 3rd DVD, you'll learn how and when to flex your legs for smoother transitions with less effort, and for deeper angles in turns. Harness momentum from one turn to help with the next.
