The strategy is to start on very short skis (65-80cm) and use the parallel turn from the very beginning. The skier progresses to gradually longer skis as they improve. The method employs very little technique explanation and is characterized by a great deal of action and self discovery. GLM was very popular in the United States especially at Killington, Aspen Highlands and anywhere, that Taylor went to promote his method. CONDITION-These vintage skis are in good condition.
