5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent resource for planning a ski/snowboard vacation,
By A Customer
This review is from: Good Skiing and Snowboarding Guide 2001 (Good Skiing & Snowboarding Guide) (Paperback)
This book is an excellent guide to the world's best ski resorts. While it is true that Europe is more heavily covered in this book; the largest of the North American resorts are reviewed as well (Vail, Breckenridge, Whistler, Killington, etc.). There are even some details provided on other locations (South America, New Zealand, Japan), although not as in depth. One of the nice features of the book is that it rates each resort for beginners, intermediates, experts, off-piste, and snowboarders. The book provides an honest assessment of the pros and cons of each resort (nightlife, accessibility, snow quality, etc.). Highly recommended for planning a long ski vacation. Trail maps are provided although not very detailed due to space limitations.

Use the Web,
By A Customer
This review is from: Good Skiing and Snowboarding Guide 2001 (Good Skiing & Snowboarding Guide) (Paperback)
A nice collection of information but for what I was looking for the web had as much information on what was where and how much it cost. This book is not worth as much as others becuase it lacks the reader input and real experience of going and being there. Most info can be picked up from travel guides and brochures.
5.0 out of 5 stars
