As a dedicated skier, it was nice to find a comprehensive guide complete with maps and descriptive commentary allowing me to decide where I should next go skiing. I'll be taking up snowboarding next along with the help of this guide. A superb guide to Canadian resorts by a Canadian author.

I bought this book at the last minute before my recent ski trip to Western Canada, it offered me a great introduction to not only the ski hills but also the regions. The relaxed easy style of writing supported the experience i had in Canada.

This book provides practical information about skiing for women of all ages and abilities. This advice ranges from helpful hints for beginners to technical pointers for advanced skiers in powder. What makes the book more valuable than a standard how-to book, is its female perspective and the shared stories of real women skiers. I recommend this book for it practical information as well as for its descriptions of the motivations of a variety of women skiers. Read this book and you'll be itching to get on the slopes.

Skiing: A Womens Guide offers practical and up to date advice for women who want to learn more about this great sport. After reading this book I felt it truly captured the experience of skiing. I enjoyed reading about all of the aspects of skiing, what to wear, safety on the mountain, as well as expected experiences for beginners to experts.This book covers all of this and much more in articulate and common sense language. Thanks Maggie,for publishing a guide for a group of skiers that have a greater need to understand the basics before moving on to bigger challenges. I've been involved in teaching women to ski for over ten years and this book also illustrates the fun, friendships and learning that occurs with women skiers. Outstanding job.

I may be considered a roudy teenager to some and might not be taken seriously when I feel strongly about a subject of my interest, but Warren Miller's SKI FEVER is amazing. Every time I read it,(which is a lot) it sends shivers down my spine. The way the writers describe everything is tremendous. Once I finish the book I have the urge to go skiing even if it is down the snowpacked steps of my deck, I have the "fever". Durring the humid summers I have to suffer through, longing for soft white powder to float down upon me, I daydream about slaming through rapid gates and I pick up his book and I am satisfied. I am satisfied because even though I am not present as the skiers fly down the mountain I feel as if I am. So thank you Mr. Miller, Thank You.

Warren Miller's Ski Fever is a wonderful addition to any skier's library, not to mention a film guru's library. This book tells the tale of skiing's presence in family, sports, and in the heart and soul of a skier of any ability. Alike all of Miller's other works, the brillant action photography places the reader in a plesent state of euphoria.

For anyone who enjoys hiking in the high peaks of the Adirondaks this is a must have companion. Informative with wonderful photographs enables even the novice to learn a great deal about the flora of the high peaks

A must read for all aspiring and seasoned climbers of all disciplines. If you read one climbing book this year, make it this one. The life you save may be your own. Climb on and be safe(or not).

The best book I have read on how to ski in difficult snow, and different techniques of advanced skiing. Explains what you do in simple no nonsense terms.

Made me a better skier just trying out new things. Made me more aware,and brought new chalanges to my skiing.

As well as ALL the other books from TASCHEN's "Interiors" series, this book is simply magical. It offers a great trip in the Alpes and simply gives you the opportunity to visit the most beautiful houses -- from simple chalets to deluxe houses -- of the mountains. The printing is fabulous and the pictures are of pure quality. Beautiful!

This is actually more like a pamphlet than a book. It gives very detailed directions for driving the loop and tells you what you are looking at as you are driving by. Information includes the name of mines (with a little history) or old buildings along the road as well as the mountain peaks off in the distance. We left ours at home on our last trip and bought another one in Colorado.

Another prospective book for the followers of the tactics of military and police operations, not even is not another material that is as complete as this, the FM's. Lonsdale has us accustomed to very practical material, technician and effective. Alpine operations will become one of the best (but the best) and more complete treaty on the topic that also proposes solutions to the most frequent problems and it guides on the course that should be taken in actions of this type. A necessary book in their library!

Tony Taylor's ALPINE SENTINELS is a direct, readable, and knowledgeable account of an American sub-culture that was viable for many centuries and is now gone, crowded and displaced by the westward movment of Euro-Americans. The book honors its subject.
