For recreational skiers "You have skillfully and accurately described and analyzed a brand new technique that anyone can learn in a quarter of the time it took to learn the old technique. It is a technique that empowers the student to rapidly achieve heights never before possible." -Recreational skier, Tom Humphrey For those of higher levels of skills "I have harassed you for a long time to be more interested in "cross-under" and that good skiing consist in a long S turn, not a series of individual turns. By whatever route, you have come to understand these things; and that is great. I admire the work you have done." -Master Coach, Warren Witherell "I know it has made me a better skier and has made the last few seasons interesting and fun for me and the folks that I do a lot of my skiing with." -Veteran junior race coach, Fred Pease "The Reids relay through their love of skiing and teaching a technique based on what works not what ought to work. Thus, this book is worthwhile reading for the Week-end Skier as well as the World Cup Ski Coach." -Ron Kipp, former Director of Athlete Preparation for the USST

Ideas for the back cover of my book Skiing the New Way Fred Pease, a former prominent ski coach, after teaching him the new Outback turn, which is now featured in this revision, told me this new turn has made the most significant impact on my skiing in many, many a year. Ron Kipp, Director of Athlete Preparation for the USST, said: "The Reids relay through their love of skiing and teaching a technique based on what works not what ought to work. This book is worthwhile reading for the Week-end Skier as well as the World Cup Ski Coach." To paraphrase Henry Bendinelli, Director of the Skikats Ski Club: Our week-long trip was an ideal "laboratory" to test your technique for 26 skiers of widely differing abilities. It was resoundingly obvious that they ended up skiing beautifully, much better than they had ever skied in their lives. Then, from the recreational students: Bill Rice said: Ski classes had never clicked like this before-even though I had begun skiing with the best Austrian instructors some thirty-eight years ago and had taken hundreds of lessons since. Tom Humphrey said: The continuing evolution of various techniques has added bits of pleasure along the way but none has been so Soul-Satisfying as the SWEET SCHWOOSHING SKI STYLE of Duncan and Betty Reid. What a gift! What a Godsend! Who would have believed that, at my age, I could become a better skier than I ever was in the heyday of my youth. Yet, I am. What a pleasure! Jo-Ann said, "I feel I have so much better control of my skis I just start skiing much faster. No longer do my friends have to wait for me as I go schwooshing by.

This book is especially written for all insecure skiers in the first place. If you think, that you are a beginner or an intermediate skier, this book is thought to be the right choice for you. But everyone, interested in understanding, developing, learning and teaching downhill skiing can benefit from this work. I have been working on this material since 2010 and the work is still going on. My basic point is, that you should prepare yourself, before you go to ski. It is too late to make your mental preparation on the slopes, this should be done at home before. You should be able to imagine for yourself what you must do in order to do it right or as good as possible. This imagination should not be just a picture! It should be like a whole movie, with many of your senses involved, just like in a detailed dream. Like, if you can imagine the whole ski-turn with many, clear details, what basic movements you have to do, how it should feel in your body, how it should look like, how it should change during the development of your turn, this will prepare your correct movements in the real life. But this must happen step by step, starting by the easiest skills and developing further when you have tried out the first steps first. For this reason I have divided the material in 3 different levels. You will need quite a long time for this. So please be patient, take your time, work with my book, do not just read it! Understanding and explaining skiing is complicated and it takes time. My suggestion is to read carefully, take several breaks and think carefully about the sections you find difficult to understand. If you are a beginner, start reading the book as soon as possible before your start your skiing. You can stop reading after the beginner level and go skiing on green and blue slopes.
