A huge number of people ski, and this fun little book looks at all
aspects of what makes it so appealing. For some, it's a serene
communication with nature as they glide down a gentle slope in
silence, for others it's a 100-miles-an-hour descent down an almost
vertical piste with an evening of beer, cheese and singing as a
follow-up. The Little Book of Skiing delves into this fascinating
sport, starting with the history and encompassing pretty much
everything that draws us to beautiful white slopes across the
world. So whether you're a once-a-year wobble-down-a-nursery-slope
type or a skiing superstar in lycra, this book will inform, amaze
and amuse, and hopefully make your next epic power day that little
bit better. SAMPLE QUOTE: 'There are really only three things to
learn in skiing: how to put on your skis, how to slide downhill,
and how to walk along the hospital corridor.' - From A Chinaman in
My Bath and other pieces by Lord Mancroft, 1974 SAMPLE FACT: The
word 'ski' comes from the ancient Norse word 'skio', which means a
split piece of wood.
