Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Totally Amazing
Review: I was completely blown away with this CD-ROM. The information is priceless and the multimedia presentation was captivating. It is good to see some world class skiers putting together something that can inform both beginners and elite skiers alike.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Simply the best to date
Review: If you are a serious cross country skier, and you own a computer, then you have to have this CD-ROM. Simply speaking there is nothing like it on the market, and it will make you a better skier.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great Presentation
Review: My experience was very different than Erik's. I felt the CD-ROM web presentation was super. Nothing complicated, no java or active code to go wrong. Quite straight forward in design and better than many of the corporate websites these days.

I do agree that the authors really do know how to ski, just look at the videos. Many of the pieces of advice have me re-thinking how I approach the sport.

Readers can not go too wrong at this price.

Summary: A complete work on cross country skiing
Review: Tao of Skiing comes on a CD-ROM and looks and feels like the biggest web site on cross-country skiing that I have ever seen. It uses pretty basic programing and is robust.

It was easy to navigate, and captivating, I fould myself surfing for hours. The videos were very helpful in explaining technique and motivating at the same time. For the first multimedia material on the market it can't be beat, and regular books would have a hard time conveying this sort of information.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent in every way!
Review: Tao of Skiing is technically not a book. It is a CD-ROM packed full of goodies. The multimedia works very well especially if you are looking for a better way to ski. The Tao of Sking is the most rewarding reference I have found. Thousands of hints and ideas, photos, diagrams and a dozen quicktime videos kept me totally engaged. I also purchased the xczone video "On Snow" and can highly recommend both.

Summary: Key product
Review: The amazing thing is that... this CD cost me less than a day pass at the local ski site, and saved me years of floundering around on snow. Tao (the way) of skiing is a large web site on a CD-Rom, complete with ample advise (text, images and small movies). The movies were a lot of fun and the text was straight to the point. (The way you would want to be instructed). Personally, I thoroughly enjoyed the package and appreciated what it has done for me... and I'm not hung on an occasional Typo.

Summary: Great format and delivery - Well Done.
Review: The CD-ROM is packed full of great advice delivered in easy to read point form (like an Aide Memoire). Each sentence or teaching point stands on its own. I could take one gem of knowledge at a time; without having to wade through pages of pretentious prose. The explanations were very precise and most meaningful to those with some skiing experience under their belt. Best read with an open mind.
