This review is from: Centered Skier (Paperback)

This book is one of the great works on skiing. It opens your mind to the possibilities of the sport and can be used to help with any sport you participate in. Easy to read and right to the point. This book is a classic among classic sport pyscology books. A must read for anyone looking for the Zen path in sports.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you had to choose only one book on skiing this is the one, May 23, 2002

Denise McLuggage is a genius. She was 20 years ahead of everybody when she wrote this book. There was no such thing as shaped skis back then. Yet, she knew the art and the science of skiing exactly, independently of the equipment one uses.

I have read that book again and again. I never get tired of it.

This book is still available at the little book shop right near where author Denise McCluggage wrote the book in 1977. Mad Rivber Glen just installed a repalcement of their Single Chair lift this year. A town that LOVES skiing. She was a great race car driver, and still an editor of Auto Week magazine. She's the kind of lady who loves wind in her hair, and she writes so well about how to feel centered and wonderful as you ski. PSI reading list. Classic.
