Title : Tao of Skiing : Aide Memoire for Cross-Country Skiing Aficionados (The Way to learn to Cross Country Ski)
Author : Lise Meloche
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Great format and delivery - Well Done.

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.

Title : Tao of Skiing : Aide Memoire for Cross-Country Skiing Aficionados (The Way to learn to Cross Country Ski)
Author : Lise Meloche
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Key product

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.

Title : Harald Harb's Essentials of Skiing (Includes Free DVD)
Author : Harald Harb
Rating : 3 Stars out of 5.
Summary : I like it! But...

I couldn't wait to get this book after having read Harald Harb's ACBES 1 2. I was hungry for a simpler version of those two books and I think Harb delivered.

At first read, the book is much more reader-friendly than the two ACBES books. It's great that Harb focused on movements of the whole body and not just the foot, as he grossly overanalyzed in the previous two books.

My only major problem with his books in general is that while his system is superior to any other instructional skiing methodology, Harb yet to learn the art of user-friendly explanations rather than getting too academic. But "Essentials" is the closest he's come and it feels good.

The accompanying DVD's production quality isn't as good as the previous discs. It's only about 15 min. and at the end he reveals it's basically a teaser for another set of DVDs he'll release soon. It got into topics like Counterbalancing and flexion so early on. How about basic stance? How about arm position? This is where I was disappointed in the lack of simplicity in this and many other DVDs. If you're going to title your series "Anyone Can Be an Expert Skier" or "Essentials of Skiing," you had better make sure that "Anyone" can understand how to even start the "Essentials!" (Do we have to leave simplicity to Marty Henckleman's old-school videos?)

One thing I wish all ski gurus would keep in mind is that the target market for skiing instruction is people who, yes, want to learn to ski... but first and foremost ski to have FUN. There's a huge opening for instruction that's easy and enjoyable too without being so academic. The closest I've seen to being both thorough and valuable is Harb's colleague Lito Tejada Flores-- who's taken Harb's PMTS and adapted a more Zen-like lesson for the novice skier.

I would recommend "Essentials," though, for anyone (like me) who thought Harb's ACBES books were a bit too academic for such simple, ingenious teaching technique as PMTS.

Title : For the Love of Skiing: A Visual History of Skiing
Author : Alan K. Engen
Rating : 3 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Neat pictures, but too much ski jumping.

Neat pictures, but kind of a muddled presentation. This is not really a general history of skiing, but a biography of Alf Engen who was a local hero in Salt Lake City, Utah and ran the Ski School at Alta for years and years. There's too much about ski jumping and not enough about other kinds of skiing. The author, Alf's son Alan, seems like a spokesman for the ski industry more than a historian.

Title : All-Mountain Skier : The Way to Expert Skiing
Author : R. Mark Elling
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Great for Serious Skiers

This book is detailed and comprehensible. Just right for someone seeking to move up intermediate to higher challenges.

Warning: If you are not deeply serious about skiing this book may have too much detail for you. For example, proper boot fitting gets pages, not paragraphs.

Many of the drills proposed imply steady access to slopes and the time and discipline to spend hours working on improvement.

There are useful ideas for those of us who ski a few times a year and hope to improve somewhat, but we must treat the book like a reference-- look up what you need to work on and do that for one trip.

Still, a great book.

Title : Trail Atlas of Michigan: Mountain Biking, Hiking, Cross-Country Skiing, and Nature Trails.
Author : Dennis Hansen
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : I wish there was a book like this for every state!

This is an excellent book for anyone who lives in Michigan. We've used it for hiking and cross country skiing, and it provides excellent accurate information.

Title : The Essential Guide to Skiing: 201 Things Every Skier Must Know
Author : Ron LeMaster
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Great book for any skiier (beginner or expert).

I usually don't write reviews for purchases I make. If I'm having to write a review for this one, it really means something.

I found this book very useful and informative. This book covers everything from boots and skis to vacations and lesssons. This book is almost like an Encyclopedia for anything skiing related. Skiiers of all caliber can greatly benefit from reading this book. Great read!

Title : Cross-Country Skiing: Building Skills For Fun And Fitness (Mountaineers Outdoor Expert)
Author : Steve Hindman
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : An excellent comprehensive primer on enjoying the snow via skis

Aspiring skiers will love Cross-Country Skiing: Building Skills For Fun And Fitness: it joins others in Mountaineers' 'Outdoor Expert' series, providing a long-time PSIA instructor's techniques using step-by-step photos and learning activities to back instruction. Common problems receive sidebars of easily-accessed information, while technique is surveyed for different terrain and snow conditions. Cross-Cross-Country Skiing: Building Skills For Fun And Fitness: isn't just about technique, though: it includes games, health concerns, and tips on selecting skis and clothing. An excellent comprehensive primer on enjoying the snow via skis.

Title : Backcountry Skiing Adventures: Vermont and New York: Classic Ski and Snowboard Tours in Vermont and New York
Author : David Goodman
Rating : 4 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Great book for cross country and telemark skiers

This is a great book if you are looking for a guide to some of the best cross country and telemark trails, however since i was looking for more of a downhill backcountry guide, this is not really what i was looking for, but it is still a very informative and well written book.

Title : All-Mountain Skier : The Way to Expert Skiing
Author : R. Mark Elling
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Written for the intermediate skier

Elling wrote this for an intermediate to advanced skier looking to take their skiing to a higher level. Although it does have a good, large section on basic ski skills, it doesn't pretend to coddle a novice through pizza and french fries.

If the next day is a powder day, I'll review the sections on powder and crud. If it hasn't snowed in a while, I'll read the sections on carving and bumps. You can jump around and get exactly what you need out of it, and it's written very well for that purpose.

I highly recommend this book.
