Summary: VERY NICE BOOK FOR VERY BEGINNERS
Review: Excellent book for someone who has never skied and is not used to snow activities. All the basics are in there, not aiming to replace a real ski class. The author fully achieved the goal proposed.

Summary: Great for New Skiers
Review: I've been skiing for a long time, so I don't need this book, but I think it's great for new skiers. I've given it to a couple of beginners and people who said they wanted to try skiing. It covers all the basics--clearly and succinctly--but it doesn't overload new skiers with more information than they need.

Summary: All the basics, including equipment & technique
Review: Light-hearted but informative primer on skiing and snowboarding. How to pick equipment. How to get started. Where to ski. How to get the best deals. What are the hot new sliding sports. All in the the fun-to-read, easy-to-scan "Complete Idiot's Guide..." format. Illustrated.

Summary: Great for New Skiers
Review: The book was too simple for my tastes. I have been skiing for about a year and most of the information was way below my "beginner" level. There is really very very little information on actual skiing. The book basically covers the snow plow and simple turns as related to your ski lessons. There were some interesting tidbits in the book but on the whole I found it very lacking. If you have never ever been skiing and know absolutely nothing about it then the book might be helpful....but if you have skiied once in your life I don't think it will be that much more helpful.
