This copy of “Invitation to Modern Skiing” by Fred Iselin is a well-preserved example of a groundbreaking work in the history of skiing instruction. Published in 1966, Iselin’s book introduced a revolutionary new technique known as the “Parallel Skiing Method,” which emphasized parallel ski positioning from the very beginning of instruction, rather than the traditional stem-christie method. Iselin’s approach was heavily influenced by the innovative teachings of the Arlberg Technique pioneers in Austria and represented a major shift in ski pedagogy. With clear illustrations and Iselin’s accessible writing style, this volume opened up the sport to a new generation of recreational skiers and helped pave the way for the modern skiing experience. For collectors, this edition captures an important transitional period in ski instruction and remains a cornerstone text for enthusiasts of the sport’s rich history and evolution.
