Taught me how to ski

I’m very thankful for this app as well as the Beginner and Intermediate versions. I had gone skiing several years ago and was to impatient and didn’t want to take the time to get ski lessons. It was horrible, worst thing ever, no fun. This time after going through all three of these apps, for several weeks, just visualizing skiing and going through the motions in my living room, I actually learned all the basics to skiing. Once I got on the mountain I had all the muscle memory and technique down. I actually kept up with and sometimes out-skied my brother-in-law. I highly recommend these apps to anyone.

Sound had failed

Had this app a few years and found it a great refresher however it now appears to be broken. Red banner at bottom of videos and no sound as noted by other users.

No sound on the video

Good advice if you can lipread! The audio isn’t working at so pointless watching the videos at all.

Last but best

This last app has helped me with the finesse of my skiing. I highly recommend all three apps regardless of you ability as there are pointers for you at all levels.

Works poorly on current OS

The app will only play one video then crashes. You have to restart. Additionally the powder video is actually the crud video. This was mentioned by someone else 3 years ago but hasn’t been updated. The videos themselves are quite helpful but can be found for free on YouTube.

Red screen and hang

Seems to hang with red background when
1. Play a video
2. Press done
3. Select a different video

Doesn’t seem to work on iPhone 11 latest iOS

The sound doesn’t work and when you watch a second video you just get a red screen.

No sound

Paid 4,99 but the video has no sound. Not very useful. Other versions have been fine
Update Dec 2019 - reinstalled multiple times an still no sound. No response from developer so advise you don’t download. Shame as these are good videos when watched on you tube

Great - Just make sure you’ve unmuted your phone

Unlike most other apps, if you’ve toggled your phone to silent/vibrate, the audio will not play. Simple fix. Great apps and teaching videos from these folks.

Your own private coach any time ..

Absolutely superb.
Clear, well paced, well stepped progressions.
Fantastic video lessons as well as reference cards.
Amazing to be able to get someone to video you and compare in a split screen to the app.
What a fantastic resource to look at before hitting the slopes, reinforce lessons in person, review later, or use on the go to sort out problems.

All the levels available from Beginner to Expert are fantastic.
These Apps are.a game changer!

Is it me or thee

After downloading I try to play but have no sound

Good app needs update

The series is excellent however a bug has omitted the how to ski powder film in this version. Replaced with a redundant how to ski crud. An email to the developer went unanswered.

Some videos missing

The app works well - a collection of videos. Some of the videos are missing though. The "powder" video for example is actually the "crud" video. So you get that video twice and no powder video... not the end of the world but a bit annoying.

Super app for tips

Super app as a step up from intermediate - into carving, power and the odd piece of off-piste. I use this as a quick reference to remind me of the things my instructors have taught me when I'm skiing on my own/with friends. The short and direct videos means you can easily jump into the app for a reminder when on the chairlift or in the cafe.

Will

A useful revision guide . I would reccomend

Great tuition

Simple advice, straight to the point, every move and position is explained and justified. Great stuff!

No sound so utterly useless

Video plays without any sound on iPhone 6. Don't bother buying this as it is useless without sound.

Best ski video tutorial on AppStore

Great quality videos, solid ski techniques, great instructions

Very well done

This ski lesson app series is very well thought out and executed. The video segments are professional quality with good audio descriptions. The examples are clear (unlike others I have seen). Beautiful locations and backgrounds, too. The progression of skills is logical. I definitely learned some useful tips I can directly apply on my next ski outing. The app costs less than a single issue of a ski magazine.
