5.0 out of 5 stars Captures the whole experience of skiing, very enjoyable read, November 5, 1999
By A Customer
Skiing: A Womens Guide offers practical and up to date advice for women who want to learn more about this great sport. After reading this book I felt it truly captured the experience of skiing. I enjoyed reading about all of the aspects of skiing, what to wear, safety on the mountain, as well as expected experiences for beginners to experts.This book covers all of this and much more in articulate and common sense language. Thanks Maggie,for publishing a guide for a group of skiers that have a greater need to understand the basics before moving on to bigger challenges. I've been involved in teaching women to ski for over ten years and this book also illustrates the fun, friendships and learning that occurs with women skiers. Outstanding job.

5.0 out of 5 stars Informative and Inspirational Advice for Women Skiers, February 13, 2000
This book provides practical information about skiing for women of all ages and abilities. This advice ranges from helpful hints for beginners to technical pointers for advanced skiers in powder. What makes the book more valuable than a standard how-to book, is its female perspective and the shared stories of real women skiers. I recommend this book for it practical information as well as for its descriptions of the motivations of a variety of women skiers. Read this book and you'll be itching to get on the slopes.
