Description

Five Easy Turns was written and illustrated to set the teaching standards of my Cross-Country Ski School at the Sierra Club's Claire Tappaan Lodge, close to the Donner pass. Tom Martens, editor of the Tahoe World Newspaper, was photographer and editor for this project. We published the book ourselves under the imprint of Nordic Press, and the book sold 10,000 copies on the West Coast. Four-time cross-county skiing Olympian Lyle Nelson described it as "The best teaching book available for turning on skis." There are now just a few copies left, and it has become a collector's item among cross-country enthusiasts.

The five most useful turns: Step, Skate, Snowplow (wedge), Stem, and Telemark were photographed with an eye to catching every phase of each turn. I had at this time a contract with the Fischer Ski Company to test all their cross-country skis: Note the 'slippers' we were using in those days, these came with the skis.
