Features: With the improvement of living standards, the taste of life has also been elevated. What was once a highly professional and aristocratic sport like skiing has now joined the ranks of fashion, becoming a fitness activity that the masses admire. The number of people participating in mass skiing has grown rapidly. Skiing is different from other sports; without basic knowledge, it's really not clear how to ski. Even those with beginner-level skiing skills still have room for technical refinement and improvement. Therefore, an intuitive illustrated guide and video materials are urgently needed to address the needs of skiing enthusiasts.
It is wonderful to hear that Mr. Shan Zhaojian, known as the "Skiing Expert of China," has personally written the book "Skiing with Champions—Learn Skiing from the Best," which focuses on alpine skiing while also incorporating snowboarding and cross-country skiing. He has also condensed the illustrated content into a teaching DVD and personally served as the director, actor, and demonstrator for both the book and the DVD. This is indeed a good deed for skiing enthusiasts and the popularization of skiing in China. Congratulations.
The reason this book's publication is so commendable is that it indeed has several significant features. First, it is professional and authoritative. The book is edited and written by Shan Zhaojian, the "Skiing Expert of China," who is also the former national skiing champion of China. It includes contributions from Li Yuxin, Pan Yuehua, and Xu Danyan, who are dedicated to the theoretical research of skiing techniques. The book is also supported by the technical expertise of Guo Dandan, China's former world skiing champion, who leads a team of excellent mass skiing coaches in demonstrating the technical movements. The China Ski Association has also provided technical support for the book.
Second, it is popular and trendy. The book selects three suitable projects—alpine skiing, snowboarding, and cross-country skiing—for popularization among the masses. It allows people to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and immerse themselves in the vast forests and snowy landscapes, enjoying the charm of nature and achieving the effects of fitness, relaxation, and body shaping.
Third, it is novel and exciting. The book features colorful illustrations, exquisite design, and demonstrations by the original cast.
Fourth, it is the first of its kind in China to be printed as a skiing book with illustrations and accompanied by a DVD for explanation.
May the publication of this book further spark a wave of enthusiasm for mass skiing, promoting the vigorous development of skiing in China.
