I Know Absolutely Nothing About Skiing: A New Skier's Guide to the Sport's History, Equipment, Apparel, Etiquette, Safety, and Language, Used [Hardcover]

This is an ideal introduction to skiing, especially for beginners who indeed "know absolutely nothing" or feel a little timid about taking those first slippery steps on the slopes. With illustrations and amusing anecdotes, this informative overview should put any novice at ease. Skiing, after all, is about having fun in the snow. Chapters include instruction on equipment (and how to get fitted correctly), general information on ski areas, how to read trail maps, mountain etiquette, and how to fall "politely" when gravity has its inevitable way.
