Treat yourself to a Private Ski Instructor this Winter – for the entire Season!

Martin Heckelman and Red Team Productions are proud to announce SkiTips1 - "The Fundamentals of Skiing" - for the iPhone and iPod Touch.

The SkiTips series for the iPhone sets new standards in Sports Instruction, enabling skiers for the first time to take all of their instructional media out on the slopes with them. The lessons demonstrated in SkiTips1 cover all the fundamentals of skiing that beginners and intermediates require to become competent skiers. This App teaches you how to use the skis' side-cut, pressure and edging to carve turns with very little effort as well as extension turns - very useful when advancing to steep slopes and powder. Every level of skier will benefit from reviewing all the exercises presented.

The App, together with others in the series, has been created as both a self-teaching aide and as a supplement to ski 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.

Based on the renowned "Ski Tips" series of Books, Videos and DVDs, the new Apps have been especially developed for ease of 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 (it is even possible to hit the target with your nose - although you may want to take it easy with the sun cream!).

The Apps also break new ground in the range of instruction available. Users can read the background, context and logic of a particular lesson; can then watch a video clip showing the technique; and can then practice it themselves with the aid of an 'Audio Loop' which underlines and repeats the instruction – exactly as though their Instructor were right there beside them. Nothing less than a full immersion!

SkiTips1 contains a wealth of instructional media. In addition to 30 individual lessons, a set of focussed 'Programs' is offered, where the skier can concentrate on specific developmental or problem areas or simply 'mix it up'.

SkiTips for the iPhone is a genuine First for the industry – your Ski Instructor in your pocket!
