This review is from: High-Performance Skiing-2nd (Paperback)
There are few good ski books aviable for someone who wants to improve their skiing, but this is one of them. Not for the novice, but ideal for the intermediate to advanced skier. It greatly helped me with my GS training and off piste skiing.
