Title : Snowboarding: A Woman's Guide (Ragged Mountain Press Woman's Guide)
Author : Julia Carlson
Rating : 4 Stars out of 5.
Summary : It works, BUT...

As a snowboard instructor, I opened this book with hesitation - I have found most snowboard 'guides' or 'instruction manuals' to offer tips and technique that differ greatly from the proper technique I have been trained to teach and have very successfully used for the last 6 years. However, I found this text to offer good general tips, especially when it comes to getting yourself well-equipped with the proper sized equipment. The pictures are very clear and, considering that the designer/writer/person who took the photos did not have the rider dress in the most extreme of 90's board fashion, they still look stylish today.

In all, a useful book for someone who is a text-based learner. A word of caution to those venturing out for their first time: a lesson from a certified instructor will get you started much better than any book or 'friend who knows what he/she is doing' ever will.

Title : Everything the Instructors Never Told You About Mogul Skiing
Author : Dan Dipiro
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Rename to proper mogal skiing

I have been taught and have taught every thing in this book, but NOT AS WELL

Title : Inner Skiing: Revised Edition
Author : W. Timothy Gallwey
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Helped overcoming fear

I can only recommend this book. I have been fighting fear on the slopes for three years. This book seems to have freed me of fear. Thanks a lot!

Title : Bode: Go Fast, Be Good, Have Fun
Author : Bode Miller
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Bode is the best

I think Bode is a truly great role model for anyone. He's about the happiest guy I've ever heard of, and he doesn't sugarcoat anything. His book really encouraged me to knuckle down in life and in my sport (long-distance running, in case you cared) and he deserves all the success he gets. Plus he's really funny (I loved the bit about Canadians apologizing for knocking into furniture, cuz my partner is Canadian) and although I hate this word with a passion, inspiring.
This book is great - funny, motivating and at the same time tells his story.

Title : Everything the Instructors Never Told You About Mogul Skiing
Author : Dan Dipiro
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : A must reading for bumpers

Dan's book is clear, straight forward and a very easy read. All instructional books should be like this. I've been struggling with bumps for a couple of years now and, with Dan's advice in my quiver, I'll be approaching the effort this winter with new found confidence. Believe me, it is well worth the cost and time to read and learn. Happy bumping!!!

Title : The New Guide to Skiing: A Step-by-Step Guide in Color, Revised Edition
Author : Martin Heckelman
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : I learnt from this book

I was a beginner when I bought this book. I followed the instruction to practice. By the end of that ski season, I could already go down diamond slopes.

I think it would be easier for most people to learn skiing from instructors. But if you like learning from books instead (like me), this book is an excellent choice, at least it worked for me. This book teach you a lot of advanced technique, which I find it very useful on bumpy or steep slopes.

Title : Bode: Go Fast, Be Good, Have Fun
Author : Bode Miller
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Great book.

What a great read! The book is inspiring, well-written, and funny. A truly enjoyable book. His family history is interesting, and his anecdotes are very humorous. I wish the media folks would read this book and quit trashing him. He is truly an interesting individual.

Title : Anyone Can Be an Expert Skier 2: Powder, Bumps, and Carving (Includes Bonus DVD)
Author : Harald Harb
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Skiing with simple energy efficient movements

Book 2 picks up where book 1 left off and concentrates on refining the phantom move and teaches the foundation for skiing on the rest of the mountain (black runs, bumps, crud and powder) using simple energy efficient movements.

The author explains skiing in a straight forward manner and gives you many easy to understand drills that build the foundation for all moutain skiing. The written descriptions are accompanied by step-by-step pictures that show how to do each drill. This is an "action" book. You read the material and then practice what you have learned (there are even tear out cards you bring to the slopes to help remind you of the different drills).

The accompanying DVD is a terrific supplement to the written material but it doesn't replace the book. Think of the book as the instructor and the dvd as the ever faithful assistant putting on a demonstration.

I'm not sure why some of the other reviewers don't like this particular system...all I can say is that it has worked well for our family.

Title : The Story of Modern Skiing
Author : John Fry
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Viva la Sport of Skiing

With ski icon John Fry as author and with a delicious poster art "cover" of spectacular ski slopes, any thoroughbred skier will find this book a gem - a fascinating 50 year chronicle of the development of the sport- its ups and downs and inside scoops. You'll feel nostalgic as you read this detailed account and thank John Fry who gives us such a unique, well researched and educated schuss down memory lane. A must for your library!
