Soft Skiing is unique among many how-to-ski-better books-full of practical, easy-to-follow and immediately effective ski coaching ideas, it's also a collection of personal memories by one of America's best known ski instructors, Lito Tejada-Flores. Lito is the author of Breakthrough On The New Skis, and the creator of the Breakthrough-On-Skis video series. He has never followed the "party-line" of official ski teaching orthodoxy, and his Breakthrough on Skis books are amongst the best selling ski instruction books of all time. In this book, Lito breaks new ground, focusing 100% on the art of skiing in a relaxed, energy-efficient manner, a style of virtually effortless expert skiing that is ideally suited to older skiers. In his easy-to-follow conversational style, Lito reveals the secrets of skiing all day, on all terrain, without fatigue, without a moment of struggle or stress. Actually this is a book for all skiers but more than anything it is a gift for older skiers looking for grace, elegance and efficiency rather than aggressive daring-do on the slopes. This is a book that will change skiing lives, expand skiing horizons.

Poetry

Dick Dorworth is a skier’s skier, a writer’s writer. As a young man he pushed his limits on skis; he is still putting himself on the line in honest, telling, unsparing prose. This is a story of life and death at high speeds on snow, of world records and world-class skiers, of ambitions realized and frustrated, of fear and fearlessness at over 100 miles per hour. Dorworth takes us with him down the straight courses of his pursuit of pure speed. It is an exhilarating non-stop ride.

The Straight Course: Speed Skiing in the Sixties

Night Driving is a hallucinatory essay, meditation, memoir and rave about long nights on the open road, across the West, down the length of South America, in many altered states, exploring multiple dimensions of freedom and the long tunnels of thought and introspection that run in parallel to the long tunnel of headlights on blacktop. First published in the mid-seventies by a classic “cult” publication, the Mountain Gazette, Night Driving has been rediscovered and reread by generations of footloose adventurers, vagabonds and brothers and sisters of the endless highway, ever since. This latest edition is available as a quality trade paperback and also in different electronic formats. Far beyond stream-of-consciousness story telling, Night Driving is a free-form classic of self-discovery and exploration, during endless, adventurous, and sleepless nights on the road.

“This is the story of a cat named Clyde who had lots of adventures… after he died!” Thus begins a journey through the natural world that is part science and part fantasy. Like all creatures, Clyde is transformed and reintegrated into the natural world of growing things, plants, water, and weather. In poetic and vivid language and warm and colorful illustrations, this story seeks to put the death of a pet into its widest, most universal, and in a sense most benign context. An eye-opener for children of all ages, and a beautiful sympathetic meditation for adults.
