5.0 out of 5 stars Key product, January 13, 2003

By	"drrlindsay" (Dartmouth) - See all my reviews

The amazing thing is that... this CD cost me less than a day pass at the local ski site, and saved me years of floundering around on snow. Tao (the way) of skiing is a large web site on a CD-Rom, complete with ample advise (text, images and small movies). The movies were a lot of fun and the text was straight to the point. (The way you would want to be instructed). Personally, I thoroughly enjoyed the package and appreciated what it has done for me... and I'm not hung on an occasional Typo.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent in every way!, March 23, 2001

By	George Pascal (Chamonix, France) - See all my reviews

Tao of Skiing is technically not a book. It is a CD-ROM packed full of goodies. The multimedia works very well especially if you are looking for a better way to ski. The Tao of Sking is the most rewarding reference I have found. Thousands of hints and ideas, photos, diagrams and a dozen quicktime videos kept me totally engaged. I also purchased the xczone video "On Snow" and can highly recommend both.
