Even if you aren't going on a winter wonderland vacation this year, or headed off to the Winter Olympics, you can still escape with this fun coffee table book! My husband was even getting excited, wanting to see all the destinations that were featured! One thing I really enjoyed was how the book was broken up into sections - Intermediate, Advanced, Expert, and Cross-Country. Now, since I'm not a skier or a snowboarder, I probably needed another section for the babiest bunny slopes, but those don't make the best photos. This book is a National Geographic publication, so you know the pictures are absolutely STUNNING. Another cool aspect is that this book isn't just pictures; there are also little writeups about the area, the ski season, places to stay, and other things to do in the area. I love a good coffee table book, and this one did not disappoint. Pick one up for yourself or a ski lover in your life! Thank you so much to Goodreads and Gordy Megroz for my copy!
