A full immersion video and audio course on how to ski, for iPhone and iPad. The only complete course on skiing technique. For beginners to advanced Intermediates. Transform your skiing this winter with your Ski Instructor in your pocket!
The SkiTips series of Ski Teaching Apps sets new standards in Sports instruction, enabling skiers for the first time to take all of their instructional media out on the slopes with them. The Lessons demonstrated in SkiTips1 cover all the fundamentals of skiing that beginners and intermediates require to become competent skiers. This App teaches you how to use pressure and edging and the skis side-cut to carve turns with very little effort as well as how to perform extension turns, a very useful turn when advancing to steep slopes. Every level of skier will benefit from reviewing all the exercises presented.
The whole series of Apps has been created as both a self-teaching aide and as a supplement to ski lessons. If you are having lessons, we recommend that you watch the App before your lessons and then use the App afterwards to practice what you were taught during your lessons – especially if youve also got an iPad.
Based on Martin Heckelmans renowned "Ski Tips" series of Books, Videos and DVDs, the new Apps have been completely designed, filmed (in stunning HD) and produced for use on the mountain. Ergonomic considerations lie at the heart of the design: the video content maximises contrast in bright light; large buttons and bold text guide the user through the various sections and chapters, while every screen has a text flip screen to further orient and assist.
The Apps also break new ground in the range of instruction available. You can read the background, context and logic of a particular lesson; you can then watch a video clip that teaches how to perform the technique and then put the device in your pocket & practice it yourself with the aid of an Audio Loop which guides you down the mountain repeating the instruction (so you don’t need to look at the video) – exactly as though your Instructor were right there beside you. Nothing less than a full immersion!
SkiTips1 contains a wealth of instruction with a User Interface which is simplicity itself – essential when out braving the elements. In addition to 25 individual lessons, a set of focused Programs is offered, where the skier can concentrate on improving specific skiing skills or make the most out of a poor weather day.
SkiTips for the iPhone is a genuine First for the industry – your Ski Instructor in your pocket!

Its amazing!!! It helps a lot to improve your technique and become a better skier!!! Strongly recomended!! Iara
I purchased this ap before a recent trip to help my nieces improve their skiing. As a long time skier I just take off down the mountain and I dont really think about what I am doing to turn and maintain control. It was very helpful to show them simple moves and forms and we could easily review them from my phone on the way up the lift. Basically it is a series of videos. A very handy ap and easy to understand. The videos were clear and concise and explained basic concepts quicker and better than I could. I even learned a few tips that I had forgotten over the years. Great for beginning skiers or as a refresher for someone that hasnt been skiing in a few years.
I hadnt skied in the last 30 years and didnt believe that I would ever dare to again. But this app with its great instructional material which reduces complicated movements into easy steps and tips really did the trick. Breaking it all down to rolling, applying pressure and carving, I managed to miraculously even get down even the steepest slopes. I still cant believe it and cant wait to ski more.
Great app! Good quality, well organized video lessons! I spent hours watching videos on you tube... This is so much better.
Ive been wanting to get friends into skiing, and also break it down for myself. My only thoughts is I wish you could get a discount on the advanced series after buying this one. Look forward to many uses of this app and hopefully It will help my fiancé.
