Author : Robert Frohlich

Fabulous pictures and fascinating information about the people who made skiing in the Sierra possible. You don't have to be a skier to enjoy this book!

Title : Dawson's Guide to Colorado's Fourteeners, Vol. 1: The Northern Peaks
Author :
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Dawson Makes You Get Off Your Duff...

... and get out to the mountains he loves.

He was the first person in history to ski down all of Colorado's fourteeners. He's climbed all at least once and many several times. Among his accomplishments are four ascents up the Diamond face of Longs Peak, so it is no surprise that Longs Peak figures prominently in this text. Dawson began climbing at an early age, and has written several other guide books for hikers in Colorado. His illustrations are excellent, and his narratives are brief enough to keep your interest and meaty enough to provide the information most are looking for.

Title : Hermann Maier: The Race of My Life
Author : Hermann Maier
Rating : 2 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Technocratic

As a friend of Bill Johnson and a longtime racer and race fan, I looked forward to the book, but after 100 pages it was clear the technocratic writing style would not bring Maier's compelling recovery to much life. On the facts alone one feels deeply for Maier personally and respects his incredible rehab, but oft cited medical reports,training charts and plans, and media strategy do little to tell us how Maier personally coped with his losses and regained his form. Clearly Maier has great courage, on and off snow, but the book reduces him largely to a re-engineered man and athlete, rather than someone facing human and career death who by family,will,passion,faith and science recovers. That story is there, but barely. To be fair, the book seemed to be a function of Maier's stoicism, which is clear throughout the book. I think there is more to Maier than he was willing to tell.

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 : Allen Mike's Really Cool Telemark Tips
Author : Allen O'Bannon
Rating : 4 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Helpful pocket book to refer to while skiing.

I've skied with this book for one season now and found that the tips are relevant and enjoyable. Both the beginner and expert can learn from this book.
Personally, I've eliminated most of my bad skiing habits and not created any new ones, which is really praise. I've found handy tips on how to explain what I do to others while in class. This book has become an "on hill" teaching tool and stays in my day pack just for that purpose.
This compendium of "illustrations" keeps me fresh while teaching, although the book is by no means intended for an instructor. The graphics are relevant, funny, and, relate the sense of joy that both authours must feel about telemarking.
The book's a giggle to re-read, for me, it can stimulate the sense of being on the snow even during an August heat wave.

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 : Trail Atlas of Michigan: Mountain Biking, Hiking, Cross-Country Skiing, and Nature Trails.

Summary : Great resource

So far, every trail description and thedirections to get there have been right on.

Title : Everything the Instructors Never Told You About Mogul Skiing
Author : Dan Dipiro
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : The title says it all

If you are a good-to-expert groomed-trail skier who has been frustrated when trying to use those skills in the bumps, there's a reason. Contrary to what so many of us believe, mogul skiing isn't just a harder version of carving turns down groomers. It's a totally different animal, and once Dan DiPiro explains it in his outstanding new book, you'll understand why all that effort in the bumps has so far not produced any results.

The title is apt. Ski instructors at most resorts, unless you are lucky enough to find a true moguls expert, tend to believe that the basic skills they teach to all skiers are equally applicable in the bumps. But they're not. As DiPiro explains, basic techniques like carving and hip angulation will actually prevent you from skiing the bumps efficiently, while other techniques -- such as keeping your skis close together and maintaining a more erect "home posture" -- will suddenly make you feel at home in the bumps as never before.

In a series of logically organized chapters, each with photos, easy-to-follow tips and practice drills, DiPiro -- who is an accomplished moguls competitor and now teaches skiing in New Hampshire -- explains the specialized techniques that help demystify the bumps. While DiPiro is a moguls competitor, the book is written to benefit any good skier who wants to ski the moguls better, more efficiently and, since so many mogul runs are directly under the lifts, more stylishly. If there's any shortcoming, it's in the section on line choice. Most of us could use more help in figuring the best way through the irregular mogul fields that dominate eastern skiing, but it may be that a video, rather than a book, is the best way to illustrate those choices.

Even if you never venture into a "pure" mogul run, DiPiro's techniques will help you ski through any run that's been chewed up by being over-skied, or hasn't been groomed in a while, or has gotten bumpy and irregular from a day's heavy snow. If you're a good skier who wants to "ski the whole mountain" but needs the techniques to do it, this is the book for you.

Now, if only he would make a downloadable video to bring onto the slopes in your digital camera or camera phone!

Title : Allen Mike's Really Cool Telemark Tips
Author : Allen O'Bannon
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Excellent!

I've been telemarking badly for a few years, got hold of this book, and all my faults are in there! This is a wonderfully put together collection of tips, structured in a way that makes a beginners' progression through the various parts of a telemark turn simple.

The cartoon illustations convey the positioning with humour and accuracy, making clear the text, not that the text isn't clear, far from it.

The flowchart at the end is really worthwhile. Can't recommend this enough to a beginner or intermediate telemark turner!

Title : Skiing for Dummies
Author : Allen St. John
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Whether you've already tried skiing, or want to

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.

Title : Dawson's Guide to Colorado's Fourteeners, Vol. 1: The Northern Peaks
Author :
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : An excellent guide for all outdoor enthusiasts.

This guide is the best of all the 14'er guides I've seen. The most distinguishing characteristic of the book is the photographs of the mountains with the routes shown on the pictures. No other guide does this and it helps in visualizing what the written descriptions of peaks say. Bar none, this is the best 14'er guide you can buy.
