Ski Smarts is the first comprehensive multimedia
skiing instruction title for Windows, available on
CD-ROM and Diskette. The versions are identical,
except that the CD-ROM version adds high quality video
for every exercise, etc.
At their own pace, users can now interactively learn
the way professionals teach and discover secrets only
expert instructors know. Common problems experienced
by all skiers are extensively covered.
Developed for electronic media from scratch, including
all text and videos, Ski Smarts sets a new standard
for sports instruction -- in any format. Full text for
hundreds of exercises can be printed. Most sports have
an instructional "bible" of some sorts and now skiing
has its own.
Ski Smarts concentrates on ski instruction and is
comprehensive in that respect -- an entire ski
instruction manual on disk for beginner, intermediate
and expert skiers. Moguls, ice, powder, crud, steeps
and racing are also covered in depth. Hundreds of
exercises complete with descriptions, graphics and
videos are systematically presented based on the ability
of the user.
A remarkably intuitive interface, centered around a
unique "Jump" screen, gives users the opportunity to
select his or her ability upon entry and receive
personalized, self paced instruction. Random jumps to
other levels can easily be done. Upon reentry to the Ski
Smarts, the user can automatically jump back to the last
exercise.
Adds fun by introducing "Radical Randy," the icon that
launches fun videos or lets you chase him around the
screen. Also introduces the "Skill Development Gauge"
to indicate at a glance to what extent each of the 4
basic skiing skills is developed by each exercise.
$39 for CD-Rom containing hundreds of detailed videos.
$29 for full diskette version -- identical to CD-ROM
except for lack of videos.
