I would like to take this opportunity to let you know how impressed I am with your "Piste to Peak" series.  As a lowly CSIA level 1 ski instructor, I suppose you could say I'm a "ski technique geek" and have an impressive collection of books, DVDs etc on the finer points of ski technique.  Your videos pretty much blow everything else I've got out of the water. Keep up the good work.

I am currently a full time ski instructor at Sunshine Village and I am training for my CSIA level 4. I was really impressed with the videos! The skiing is fantastic and Tobin is able to take a lot of technical information and present it in a fun and simple way. I would highly recommend these videos to any skier who wants to improve and understand skiing. It is also a great resource for instructors at all levels. Thanks Section 8!

Just wanted to thank you for your great Piste to Peak videos. I've been a recreational skier for quite a long time and your videos combined with a couple of short private lessons have radically improved my skiing this season. Your videos provided me with the theoretical knowledge which made my private lesson time many multiples more effective. I have your videos on my iPad and watch them whenever I feel like short refresher or just to watch you ski.

Can’t join you guys in person this year, but I’d definitely like to try and join in on one of your ski camps next season!

Thanks again for the great videos and virtual lessons! Cheers?

We have just watched the videos. They're absolutely excellent. Your presentation is fantastic and makes it all really simple and understandable. I am unashamedly going to be stealing some of your ideas.

Now it's up and running I'm going to be pushing my friends into signing up.

Just wanted to let you know that I am finding your videos very helpful. Not only do they remind me of the important concepts covered in the sessions I took with you, but also remind me of the terminology used in the CSIA program.
Physics is not my thing so I appreciate your very clear explanations, on snow and off snow. Great analogies! (E.g., soccer goalie stance, running down the stairs . . .) And lots of humour interspersed :) I also like the accompanying music a lot.

I know I'll continue watching these videos repeatedly as I prepare for Level 3. I especially like the troubleshooting video. Those demos of the various and typical problems were really well done. I appreciate seeing that there are many ways to approach those issues. I'll be sure to recommend your videos to my fellow instructors!
Hope that our paths cross again!

One of the best ski videos I have ever seen. It was certainly the best ski "instruction" video. It's serious and theoretical but funny too. I especially think the trouble-shooting section is very helpful for many people.

I would like to thank you for the Piste to Peak videos, which helped me become a much better skier in only 1-2 seasons, after being stuck on the same level for a decade. 

If I should name only one thing, that is the most important one, that would be the fore aft balance. I followed your advice and this alone did miracles, as I noticed the skis do what I was intending with nearly no effort. The exercise with the two wood planks on top of each other is a great one and I really used this exercise a lot and recommend to everybody. This simple drill, which I did several for weeks at home before the ski holiday boosted my movement patterns enormously. I could maintain a lot better fore-aft balance in more difficult situations and was able to make smaller and then gradually bigger jumps without getting out of balance. I ski now with a lot less effort than before, and am able to adapt to unforeseen situations much quicker.

We watch a lot your P2P videos with my children, and only by watching the correct movement of skiing we get better. "Try to do as Tobin does” is an often used sentence in my family when speaking about skiing.  

If you are at all like me and have more than a casual interest in improving your skiing then do yourself a favor and get access to SkiNerd's Piste to Peak Performance Series Volume 1, 2 and 3.

This has got to be one of the best kept secrets in ski improvement. 3 volumes of vids that spell out the fundamentals of ski technique to get you headed in the right direction (Volume 1), getting off-piste especially those bumpy bits (Volume 2) and then how to carve up the groomers (Volume 3). Throughout there's a wealth of demonstrations, drills for improvement and relevant discussion all covered with good humor and clarity. These are a worthwhile additions to the ski education library of any intermediate or advanced skier aiming to step their skiing to a new level.
