Teach yourself how to ski "Telemark" – the coolest sport on the mountain! Free-heel skiing is now one of the fastest growing Winter Sports and certainly the most stylish. In this App Benjamin Jay presents a complete and comprehensive multimedia course on how to Telemark. The App is targetted at anyone who has had at least a taste of Alpine skiing and is looking for a bigger challenge. It has been created to be used as both a self teaching aide and as a supplement to lessons.
The SkiTips series of Teaching Apps for skiing and boarding sets new standards in Sports instruction, enabling skiers and boarders for the first time to take all of their instructional media out on the slopes with them. The Lessons presented in Telemark Tips cover every level of Free-Heel skiing from beginner right through to expert. Experienced Telemarkers returning to the slopes will benefit from working on the specific techniques in Chapters 4 and 5, while Intermediate skiers will want to work on Chapters 2 and 3 before starting to develop their advanced skills. The novice Telemarker will start in Chapter 1 and move forward through the lessons and Chapters at whatever pace suits them personally.
The whole series of Apps has been created as both a self-teaching aide and as a supplement to 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.
The 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. And our specially designed iPad version enables you to study the lessons in large screen format at home or in your hotel before or after your days skiing.
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!
Telemark Tips for the iPhone and iPad is a genuine First for the industry – your Telemark Instructor in your pocket!
