The original book of XC downhill techniques
Barnett's book was the first to describe the downhill techniques- noteably the Telemark turn- to the modern generation of XC skiers. It was written long befor ethe current crop of edged "Telemark" skis, plastic boots and heavy cable bindings, which is an advantage, as he teaches you techniques possible in light touring equipment.

Interesting but...
Cross-country downhill and other Nordic mountain skiing techniques is an bold idea for its time. Today where nordic ski racer regularly exceed 50 mph on racing skis or we have extreme telemark films, the book is dated. Good historical reference.

This review is from: Cross-country downhill and other Nordic mountain skiing techniques
Barnett's book was the first to describe the downhill techniques- noteably the Telemark turn- to the modern generation of XC skiers. It was written long befor ethe current crop of edged "Telemark" skis, plastic boots and heavy cable bindings, which is an advantage, as he teaches you techniques possible in light touring equipment. Indeed, some illustrations show Barnett skiing in light skis and Adidias racing boots and bindings. A valuable addition to the tourer's library. If you can find a copy, buy it.

Excellent Touring Book,
This review is from: Cross-Country Downhill and Other Nordic Mountain Skiing Techniques (Paperback)
Though many techniques can be called dated, the content involving the motivations and spirit of the tour is delightful. If you love exploring on two boards in the winter then this will be an enjoyable and educational book.
