3.0 out of 5 stars decent for bumps, better for powder, overall disappointing, August 20, 2006

By	fields "music fan" (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews

Lito's has a very "friendly" teaching style, but I have several major complaints about this DVD:

1. I don't think Lito's that good of a bump skier. If you're looking for a video to help with visualization, this is not the one for you. He has a minute or two of footage from other (excellent) bump skiers, but most of the skiing is from him, and he's an average bump skiier. As he says in the DVD, he's had an ACL repaired, and he's over 50 years old, so it's you're looking for the fast, tight, balanced technique of pro mogul skiers (as I was hoping), look elsewhere.
2. There are numerous ways to ski the bumps. Lito primarily only covers two of them: in the trough, and over the shoulder. He covers both of these in relation to speed control and picking a line.
3. Lito touches only briefly about "picking a line" when bump skiing, and he doesn't give any tips for this crucial step. This is one technique that is difficult to master, and I would've liked more tips.

There were some nice parts of this DVD:
1. The content & instruction was well organized.
2. Discussion of anticipation, and some drills for how to do anticipated turns
3. Powder tips: extension of legs into the snow to complete the turn; also use of arm lifting "trick" to equalize weight in heavy powder.
4. Some beautiful powder skiing pictures.
5. Lito has a very friendly, well-paced teaching style.

Oh, well off to look elsewhere for a more ultimate bump/mogul DVD. I would really love to find a Sybervision video for bumps/moguls.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent video, February 8, 2008

I found this DVD to be very helpful in taking my skiing to the next level, especially in the powder. As the DVD tells you, powder really requires a different technique and this DVD shows you the way. With the price of a ski lesson as much as it is today, this is money well spent!

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good for intermediates, March 10, 2007

By	LindaR (Montara, CA USA) - See all my reviews

I enjoyed this video. The visual demonstrations help me. I hesitated to buy this because it was created way back in 1995 and I thought it might be out of date--but it isn't. I have skied off and on for 30 years and I just took a 3 days class on bumps. What he covers in the tape, was the same as in my class and it served to reinforce what I learned. True, as the title says, it is "simplified" down to the basics. So don't expect a lot of complicated techniques. If you like learning visually, it is very pleasant. If you already are skiing bumps without problems, then don't bother.
