Thank You, Readers

As many of you already know, I self-published my book, Everything the Instructors Never Told You about Mogul Skiing. And as many of you can probably guess, I don’t have a huge marketing budget. But word about the book is getting around the slopes, and “Everything” is ranked #3 today among ski books on Amazon.com. In other words: the book is whuppin’ the tails of literally hundreds of traditionally published, big-budget ski books on Amazon!


It’s also selling well through www.bn.com, www.LearnMoguls.com, other web bookstores, and a number of brick-and-mortar, ski-country bookstores. For this, I thank those of you who are recommending the book to friends and thereby providing me with my most valuable book marketing.

A special thanks to the people who’ve taken the time to submit reader reviews on Amazon.com: K. Ibarra of Seattle; Steven Whitmore; John Metzig of Southern California; James Shohet of Chicago; Albert Reiner of Steamboat Springs, Colorado; “Bill” of Washington DC; “Ski Bum Wannabe” of New Hampshire; and G Blasko of Connecticut.


There’s a lot of fun to be had in the moguls. And when you use the right techniques, moguls aren’t half as hard as most skiers think they are. For years, I’ve been frustrated by the instructing establishment’s ignorance of real mogul technique. This is what motivated me to write the book. And now you, my readers, are helping me get the word out, helping me bring mogul skiing to the masses. Again…

THANK YOU.
