1.0 out of 5 stars Misleading Title and Disappointing Content, December 20, 2000
By 
Dan Anderson (San Diego, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Cross-Country Skiing California: Groomed Trails and Where to Stay from Mount Shasta to Kings Canyon (Paperback)
I have high respect for the author and I find the front matter on skiing history and ski techniques very interesting & informative.

However, for a guidebook, I was disappointed to find NO maps of ski trails for anywhere. No ski tours are described. Instead each ski area is described in general terms. The description of developed ski facilities and lodging is good, but where's the ski trails?

Furthermore, the coverage is spotty. All the areas around Tahoe and Donner are covered, but the southern and eastern Sierra and southern California ski areas are poorly represented.

I recommend buying Marcus Libkind's "Ski Tours in the Sierra Nevada." He has 4 volumes for various parts of the Sierra and another book on Lassen.

Disclaimer: I am not a professional reviewer hired by the publisher, but a real skier.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent guide to the best skiing., April 5, 2000
This review is from: Cross-Country Skiing California: Groomed Trails and Where to Stay from Mount Shasta to Kings Canyon (Paperback)
Michael Jeneid's Cross-Country Skiing California provides a guide to both trails and resorts, with chapters covering all of the state's major ski regions and local accommodations as well. An excellent guide to the best skiing.
