The KI of skiing is the ultimate booklet on Centering and the use of KI to obtain insane speeds on a pair of ski''s; with some degree of safety. For those who are not insane it gives you the mental skills to enjoy our sport to a very high degree. All skiing was done at Mount Shasta on a very narrow Black Diamond ski slope. The ski used was a Green 203-CM. G.S.(World Cup) by Elan and a very old Nordica ski boot held on by Look Bindings. The pictures help illustrate the ski skills that hone your balance, teach subtle Edging skills and correct hip movements. By adding the "Real Secrets of Skiing".... Centering and Ki.... You have both the physical and mental skills to excel in the sport of Skiing. Even tho the booklet is small in size I think you will find that it gives you the knowledge to make huge gains in your skiing skills. As your balance and edging skills improve and along with being centered and using KI, your turns will have more power. Along with that power comes faster and cleaner turns(less sliding). The biggest improvement will be a reduced number of falls you make by being in your "Center". There is a rumor, (I don''t know who started it!), that if you are in your Center, the opposite sex will be strongly attracted to you....! I have tried to pass on the mental skills that should be at the core of great skiers. Without these mental skills you are just another Hacker that will never enjoy the pure thrill of scaring yourself silly.... T those that have the patience and courage to read and apply what I have imparted to your deeper understanding.... ....Go and become great skiers!....The KI of Skiing is my gift to the sport of snow skiing. I hope many read it and actually use the knowledge within. It may make the sport a little safer and enjoyable for all.... Will do clinics and on the hill demonstration''s. Must provide transportation, lodging, food, and an obscene amount of cash.... Dale Mollenhauer 528-670 Little Valley Rd.

Ski jumping, once Washington's most popular winter sport, was introduced by Norwegian immigrants in the early twentieth century. It began at Spokane's Browne's Mountain and Seattle's Queen Anne Hill, moved to midsummer tournaments on Mount Rainier in 1917 and expanded statewide as new ski clubs formed. Washington tournaments attracted the world's best jumpers--Birger and Sigurd Ruud, Alf Engen, Sigurd Ulland and Reidar Andersen, among others. In 1941, Torger Tokle set two national distance records here in just three weeks. Regional ski areas hosted national and international championships as well as Olympic tryouts, entertaining spectators until Leavenworth's last tournament in 1978. Lawyer, historian and award-winning author John W. Lundin re-creates the excitement of this nearly forgotten ski jumping heritage.

Skiing in movies, like the sport itself, grew more prevalent beginning in the 1930s, when it was a pastime of the elite, with depictions reflecting changes in technique, fashion and social climate. World War II saw skiing featured in a dozen films dealing with that conflict. Fueled by postwar prosperity, the sport exploded in the 1950s--filmmakers followed suit, using scenes on snow-covered slopes for panoramic beauty and the thrill of the chase. Through the free-spirited 1960s and 1970s, the downhill lifestyle shussed into everything from spy thrillers to beach party romps. The extreme sports era of the 1980s and 1990s brought snowboarding to the big screen. This first ever critical history of skiing in film chronicles a century of alpine cinema, with production information and stories and quotes from directors, actors and stuntmen.
