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 : Bode: Go Fast, Be Good, Have Fun
Author : Bode Miller
Rating : 4 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Introspective Bode

I've just finished reading Bode's book after reading the Herminator's auto biography and what struck me is the difference each of them views their life, surroundings, and the meaning of it all. Whereas both exude confidence and a common vitriol to the hounding press and media, Bode comes across as introspective, self admittedly shy, compared to the all confident, all conquering Maier.

Both are obviously very special athletes - Maier crushing the race courses and his opponents on the World Cup circuit, but Bode perhaps his own demons in his quest to find meaning in life. It was rather surprising to learn that winning at all costs is not central to Bode's life.

For ski racers, both are a good read. A bit plodding at times to maintain a high level of interest, but a good view of what makes each of them tick and keep at the great white circus.

Title : Anyone Can Be an Expert Skier 1: The New Way to Ski (Includes Bonus DVD)
Author : Harald Harb
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Awesome ski instruction system

I have experienced first hand instruction with this system. I have also taken the PSIA lessons offered at many ski areas. If you don't want to be stuck in the wedge forever then have a look at this. Harald Harb's PMTS is a systematic approach that will get you skiing better than 90% of the people you see skiing on any given day. Don't beleive the hype about out of the mainstream. They have something here. Believe it, this system works. If you want to carve and rip this is it!

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 : What a fun way to study technique

A CD-ROM; I do not know why someone did not think of this before. It is great. I spent hours digesting hundreds of hints on everything from technique, to training and playing the fun and informative Quicktime videos. It is not often that you can look into a decade worth of training diary entries and training notes of a World Cup Gold medalist.

Title : Free-Heel Skiing: Telemark and Parallel Techniques for All Conditions (Mountaineers Outdoor Expert Series)
Author : Paul Parker
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Very good, comprehensive book

If you are an intermediate Telemark skier, and wants too ski down that steep-brakable-crust slope: this is the book for you.

Very good book in describing different techniques for all conditions. There is an extensice beginners-part as well.

Thank for the book, Paul

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 : 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 : For the Love of Skiing: A Visual History of Skiing
Author : Alan K. Engen
Rating : 4 Stars out of 5.
Summary : If you love Alta, buy this book.

This book will appeal to people that know and love Alta, Utah or are interested in the history of skiing in the Western US. It primarily chronicles the life of Alf Engen, and therefore, chronicles the history of Alta and and an important part of skiing in the west. Engen was the inventor of modern powder skiing and richly deserves the honor of this book.

Title : Trail Atlas of Michigan: Mountain Biking, Hiking, Cross-Country Skiing, and Nature Trails.
Author : Dennis Hansen
Rating : 4 Stars out of 5.
Summary : One stop research

Hansen's book is a staple in any adventurer's library whether you ski, hike or bike. He's to the point. With so many trails to cover in both peninsulas it's tough to stay current. He should update it yearly.
