Summary: Whether you've already tried skiing, or want to
Review: This is a terrific guide! For people who have already tried skiing and are still somewhat mystified by the complexity of the equipment and the rental shop and just finding one's way around, this book is an invaluable aid in moving up to the next level. For people considering taking up the sport in the next season, it will help you to have a satisfying, enjoyable experience. The author provides handy, valuable tips on things as simple as what to wear, and things as complex as how to choose a ski. He explains how ski boots should fit, and how to rent them. There is a big emphasis on the importance of taking a lesson, but more importantly, how to get the most out of that lesson. For anyone who plans a ski trip for next season, whether it is a day or a week or more, the small investment in this wonderful guide will be returned many times over. Even the most experienced skiers will find something useful.

Summary: Common sense
Review: When buying a book, you would hardly expect to get only a pieceof common sense for your money. Unfortunately, this is the case with thisbook. Its main message is "get yourself a skiing instructor and learn how to ski". I agree, noone learns how to ski (swim, play basketball, etc.) from a book only, but nonetheless the book should advise on techniques, not tell one that he/she needs a coach. It's pretty obvious, even for a dummy.
