Title : The Complete Snowboarder
Author : Jeff Bennett
Rating : 4 Stars out of 5.
Summary : The book was great.

I really liked the book The Complete Snowboarder. It is full of a lot of useful information on how to get started snowboarding. It explains not only the basics but also how to do tricks. I would recommend this book to anyone who has even the slightest interest in snowboarding because once they read it they won't be able to wait for the snow to fall.

Title : Everything the Instructors Never Told You About Mogul Skiing
Author : Dan Dipiro
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : At last, a practical book on mogul skiing.

First, I am 63 and have been skiing for 40+ years. I now live in Southern California but generally ski at either Mammoth or Snowbird. I can turn my skis right and left and can usually get down most of the in-bounds trails at most resorts including the mogul runs. I like it all, but I really like bump skiing.

To that end, I want to give Dan DiPiro a big THANK YOU for writing Everything... . Frankly, my experience suggests he's absolutely right when he says that most ski instructors do not know how to ski bumps and try to teach people to ski bumps using racing technique. So while I do OK in the bumps, I have never quite mastered skiing the zipper line the bump skiers use.

Of course, it never dawned on my until read Dan's book, that the problem was not me, but my not knowing the techniques that the pro bump skiers used. I found the way in which he broke down the differences between trail and mogul skiing to make a lot of sense and I am looking forward to using the exercises he includes in his book to develop an alternate skill set that I can use to improve my bump skiing. So here's to Dan - for making a major contribution to skiing in general and my bump skiing in particular.

Title : The Essential Guide to Skiing: 201 Things Every Skier Must Know
Author : Ron LeMaster
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Hey, this is a really cool book

I must say this is a really cool book. I mean, first of all, the title is exactly what this book is about "Things Every Skier Must Know". Finally, a book that lives up to its title! Daaamn! This book is quite unique in that it does not teach you ski technique or ski mechanics or ski maintenance...just way, way too many of these books. Instead, this book teaches you stuff...really useful, practical stuff like how to hook up your skis on your car rack...the right way! Or how to look for a well-qualified ski instructor - believe me, this is not an easy task to do! I've taken so many ski lessons and ended up with so many bad ski instructors, it's not even funny and I pretty much had to learn skiing on my own. There is also great advice on how to prepare for a ski vacation and some brief notes on skiing on various terrains and even a chapter on ski racing! This book ponders on almost every aspect of skiing but the kitchen sink (What does that have to do with skiing, you wonder...absolutely nothing). I highly recommend this book. It is a great read on the plane or long trips to the ski resort. I mean it is quite lengthy for a ski book, but then I can't recall a ski book that is about everything there is to know about skiing?

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

I have always been a fan of Hermann Maier - not many have the ability to bounce back like he can. I bought the book for my son who is just learning to ski and he really enjoyed the biography. It is a good against all odds story and I would encourage anyone looking for a gift for an aspiring skier to send them a copy.

We have learned that Hermann has a talent for skiing but the guy can write too. The book also teaches good sportsmanship and I want my son to grow up respecting his team mates and have a good attitude. Being a good sport is not just about big sponsors.

We really enjoyed watching him ski and win medals at the Olympics!! And we really enjoyed his book!

Title : Anyone Can Be an Expert Skier 2: Powder, Bumps, and Carving (Includes Bonus DVD)
Author : Harald Harb
Rating : 3 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Great method-- but HH could use an Editor.

I read Anyone Can Be An Expert Skier 1 and also had the DVD. There was no question as to whether I should get this second volume. I have to say, this season I've decided to stick with one learning method and PMTS is it. And this season, I'm skiing better than ever. I've even had the opportunity to ski with one of Mr. Harb's colleagues and be taught the method firsthand as well. I can say, it's even simpler than it looks in the books.

I found the more I perfect Harb's PMTS method, the more effortless, efficient, and confident my skiing. With much less muscle strain and more control.

This is my one gripe about both books, however (and their DVDs). For a teaching method that is supposed to target and improve the beginner-intermediate and advanced-intermediate alike, Mr. Harb's presenation is highly academic and wordy. I understand that he wants to be comprehensive about the method. Understood. However, reading through both books (ACES II is less of an offender) sometimes feels like reading through a Boeing 767 Engineering manual.

The way the chapters are presented and the sections titled hardly differentiates one from the other. Even in the first book, the names of some sections were only different by one word out of four. Then very simple moves would be described repeatedly, redundantly, and ad nauseum, proving him the King of Overstatement. I often wondered while reading, "Couldn't HH have devised more memorable lesson names for the lessons than (e.g.) 'Inside Foot to Little Toe Edge'?"

These are all very simple moves. They shouldn't have been so complicated and confusing to comprehend. I wonder if I would have been able to grasp it at all had I not had some live (albeit informal) instruction from a PMTS pro.

I don't think Mr. Harb should worry that his PMTS method is so simple it would make too short of a book otherwise-- he includes so much other fantastic information on gear and conditioning that he could have cut the PMTS lessons copy to be more reader-friendly.

I think Mr. Harb once nailed simplicity in his initial DVD, when he simply professed, "Release, Transfer, Engage." Other than that, he succeeded in confusing the heck out me many times by overstating principles and jumping topic instead of focusing on simplifying RTE movements one at a time.

One thing I do love is the cheat sheets you can tear out and bring with you on the slopes. These are ingenius, and shows how much HH wants to teach us great skiing. In fact, I don't know how any other ski book or video has gotten along without something similar. HH answered a common dilemma for me, who looks at many skiing videos: How do you remember the lessons from a book or video to actually practicing on-slope?

Perhaps HH should have used the cheat sheets as a starting point for the book chapters-- they're much simpler and broken down much more logically.

I think once you read and re-read the book and live with it for a while, get used to HH's lengthy method of presentation and simplify it yourself, this is the only ski instruction you may ever need. Unfortunately I wish Mr. Harb did the simplifying for us in advance.

I still highly recommend for anyone who wants to get out of the Intermediate Rut.

Title : The Athletic Skier
Author : Warren Witherell
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Essential reading for anyone that aspires to become the best skier they can be.

As a full certified ski instructor with over 14 years teaching experience, and as a former club racer and High School coach, this is the only book I recommend to anyone (and everyone) that seeks to improve their skiing. In this book (and previously in his first book, How the Racer Skis) Witherell does more to define and clarify the skills necessary for achieving and mastering the highest level of skiing than the piles of PSIA books and manuals I accumulated during my five year progression from uncertified to full certified instructor. BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY OF ALL; Witerell also addresses the most critical, yet most overlooked, aspect of alpine skiing: THE EQUIPMENT. Most specifically BOOT FIT: fore/aft balance, and canting. In so doing Witherell attacks the "disease" that most skiers suffer from, poor fitting equipment (boots) that puts them out of balance and out of alignment and leads them to constantly struggle with compensating movements in a desperate and futile attempt to regain balance and compensate for poor alignment. So much ski instruction and (sadly) coaching only attempts to treat the symptoms (poor "technique": most often caused by compensating movements in attempt to try and correct equipment caused imbalance or alignment problems) and thus miserably fails the student or racer. When a student comes to a lesson for help with their skiing or a racer puts her trust in a coach they deserve to be taught and coached with, and given, the knowledge that is contained in this book.
Simply put for those that have knowledge of NASTAR handicapping, the information contained in this book (and two days skiing with Witherell) took me from an 18 or 19 handicap to a 7 or 8.
This book is even more critical and more cogent today than when it was first published 13 years ago considering today's shaped skis.
Buy this book. Read it. Address boot fit and canting. Read it again. Ski. Constantly play with your equipment, dialing it in. Ski. Play on your skis. Read this book again and again and again.
Skiing isn't as complicated as most instructors make it. Trust me. Trust this book. Warren Witherell and David Evard know what they're talking about.

Title : Buford the Little Bighorn
Author : Bill Peet
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : A Family Classic

This book was my husband's favorite book in the 60s when he was in elementary school. Now we read it to our children, along with many other Bill Peet books. We love the illustrations, plots and rhymes in Bill Peet's books. Buford is a sweet and innocent mountain goat dealing with a handicapping condition (oversized curling horns) that threatens his safety. Then when he's cornered he discovers a way to use his horns not only to escape the hunters, but to ski. And everyone at the ski resort loves him and makes him welcome. If you like this one, try Eli, Cowardly Clyde, and The Wump World.

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 : The Athletic Skier
Author : Warren Witherell
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : THE definitive guide

If you buy only one book on skiing, this should be it. It is a joy to read, and re-read. Keep it on the coffee table at your ski condo and read any random chapter. You'll learn something.

Warren is the father of carving long before it became a fad. It is "how the racers ski" (which is also the name of his first book from the early 70's that is a classic).

The content if outstanding and the writing and presentation is equally as nice. Glossy pages, excellent photography.

I've given this book to more hard core skiers than I'd like to say.

The section on balance and alignment alone are worth the money. Buy it!
