Book Review: Excellent Guide on Basic Things to Know About Skiing
Summary: 5 Stars
I am fairly new to skiing and this book initially caught my eye because of the detailed descriptions regarding ski equipment, which to an outsider sometimes appears to be very sophisticated and frankly a little intimidating to understand. The author confirms information that I have learned from instructors (boots, not skis are the single most important peice of equipment that can be purchased), but provides enough information for even a novice to ask the right questions (i.e proper fit of boots, length of skis, etc.) that whether the decision is to rent or own equipment, with this knowledge it will help make the ski experience more enjoyable. LeMaster covers every aspect of the ski experience, and I have even decided to purchase some of his recommendations regarding additional reference books on skiing technique.
