3.0 out of 5 stars
Starting out,
By Kelly Squires (Lake Placid) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Basic Essentials Cross-Country Skiing (Paperback)
Basic Essentials Cross-Country Skiing appears to be geared towards the beginner skier and someone with a limited understanding of the sport. If this is the goal, the book succeeds quite well. This is not 'basic essentials for advanced cross-country skiing.' Accomplished skiers may find the technique more inexact than basic. This book is ideal for the average beginner to stuff in their back-pack on a weekend ski outing.
