Well placed to discuss the art of skiing, Arnold Lunn was editor of
the Climber's Club Journal and the Alpine Ski Club Annual, founded
the Oxford University Mountaineering Club, invented the skiing
slalom race and was eventually knighted for his services to British
Skiing and Anglo-Swiss relations. Originally published as a cheap
handbook for skiing, this Classic Guide is devoted to the needs of
the beginner, from the technical aspects of how to ski to what to
wear while doing it, published during a time when the Alps were
relatively unexplored by British skiers. As ski lifts were an
unknown entity during the early twentieth century, Arnold Lunn
traces the difficulties of a ski-runner and the problems
encountered while mountaineering in the dangerous winter alps.
