I have not read this entire book, but the parts I have read and studied have been extremely beneficial.

Until this year I have routinely avoided skiing through powder. The very few experiences I have had with it were unpleasant and frustrating. However, this year, I put the principles taught in this book into practice, and I now feel quite confident skiing the powder. And I love it!

[Teemu Kemppainen]

Covers skiing, equipment and troubleshooting in a clear and compact manner. I think everybody will find something to improve on their skiing and this is a good place to start looking for drills and advice.

[James Lovett]

Good book on ski technique. Lots of practical drills. Diagrams and photos could have been clearer. Worthwhile, especially for good skiers seeking to improve. Not so much for beginners.

Where to read the book?

[Kevin Wheeler]

Well-worth the read if you ski.
