Great for New Skiers

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.

VERY NICE BOOK FOR VERY BEGINNERS

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.
