Customer Reviews
An excellent book for the beginning cross country skier
This is an excellent book for the beginning cross country skier. The author gives a good overview of classic track skiing, skating, and backcountry skiing. I would not recommend it for somebody who has XC skied for more than one or two years. For those who would like to begin and have no idea where to start, this is the book for you.
Great Looking Book
This is a great looking book on cross-country skiing. Color photos and superb layout. It is one of the nicest books for beginner and novice skiers.
Better skiers are going to find it weak on technical content with most of the explainations taking a certain artistic licence at the expense of accuracy. Two books advanced skiers should look into are "Tao of Sking" and "Ski Skating With Champions."
Great book for beginners
I recently started Cross country skiing and I purchased this book. I found it very helpful and informative. Anyone just starting cross country skiing should buy it. It has many great pictures and diagrams that help in learning different techniques.
