Amazon.com Review
Looking for a cozy B&B in which to hide out and make a few leisurely cross-country tours? In search of a fine resort with an extensive trail system and ski school for the kids? This guide to making the most of your cross-country skiing vacation includes all the specifics you'll need to make an informed decision when choosing destination resorts and lodges. Besides the basics--items such as street and e-mail addresses, and phone numbers--the book includes descriptions of accommodations and restaurants, rates, payment options (namely, whether credit cards are accepted), the nearest airport and hospital, entertainment choices, children's activities, and, of course, trail conditions. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Product Description
Whether seeking a big trail system or a romantic getaway to a secluded guest ranch, this guide offers more comprehensive cross-country travel options than any book on the market. Even vacationers who don't ski can select from a variety of alternatives including sleigh rides, dog trails, horseback riding and dog sledding. Each listing describes trails, conditions, facilities, accommodations and dining options. 40 photos, 24 in color. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good overall look at what is out there but not accurate., September 29, 1998
By A Customer
I am currently planning a ski vacation and was relying on this book to help me decide where to go. It did give me a great look at what is available to me in the USA and Canada, however, when I started calling to make reservations I found that some did not take my credit card (which it said that they did in this book)or rates were enormously higher. Wiesel uses $-$$$$$ to gauge price - but this is not enough. It would be more helpful to have average prices ranging from single occupancy to double and so on. The explanations are great and make every resort sound like somewhere I would like to go. Even Idaho! I am going on a vacation I found in this book so I guess the proof is in the pudding. I'll let you know how acurate the details were when I return in December.

5.0 out of 5 stars great vacation planner, February 19, 2006
By Jennifer Grant (Reno, Nevada) - See all my reviews
My husband and I have used this book to plan more than ten vacations and on each one we've had a great time. We are at two different levels of skiing (beginner/intermediate and intermediate/advanced), but using this book we have been able to find places that are perfect for both of us. Every place we have been to has had great food and amenities, too, which we read about beforehand. It has been really nice to know that we can plan a vacation being confident that when we get there, we'll have a great time.

5.0 out of 5 stars I want to ski there!, June 2, 2000
By Jean (Whitefish, Montana) - See all my reviews
Cross-Country Ski Vacations is a delicious introduction to North American cross-country ski resorts and a refreshing testimonial to what's best about snow: skiing upon it!

Jonathan Wiesel's humorous dialogue leads readers past the continent's biggest mountains and over the finest snows while highlighting lodges, food and services. In particular, I enjoyed the personal connection that the writer gives within each chapter by introducing readers to the local skiers or the local history.

It's obvious that the writer has skied every one of the trails in his book and that he would love to have each reader join him on the cross-country ski pistes.
