CODE SL: The Slalom Formula. How to Control Skis with Maximum Efficiency

CODE SL: Slalom Formula by Andrei Shvalev presents a systematic analysis of modern slalom technique, based on years of biomechanical research and study of World Cup athletes. The book translates elite performance into a structured “code” showing how skis are controlled, forces managed, and speed preserved. What’s Inside: biomechanics of control, turn phases (initiation, loading, transition, cross-under, release), force and timing management, technical standards of world-class slalom, and practical drills for training. Why This Book Is Different: Unlike traditional manuals, CODE SL unites physics, biomechanics, and coaching practice, revealing the underlying structure of movement rather than just describing technique.
