The I Ski and Ride app is unlike anything I've seen before. The images clearly show the fundamental movements needed to ski dynamically and it is so easy to understand. I love the pictures that show what happens inside the boots!

For the past 2 seasons, I use I Ski And Ride for coaching skiing to review the progressions, show the illustrations for foot, ankle and leg movements to students, and recommend students and fellow instructors to purchase the app for reference. It’s a valuable tool because it is easy to use and clarifies proper balance and movement.
