From your first wobbly steps on the nursery slopes to the advanced skiing required on black runs, this guide has advice and information on skiing topics which include choosing a holiday, skiing fitness and equipment, and the intricacies of parallel turns, moguls and speed-skiing. Step-by-step photo-montage sequences explain the dynamics of skiing turns, and there is information on European and North American resorts, a section devoted to children and a chapter on health and mountain safety. Karen Liebreich has been skiing since she was a small child and Michael, her brother, represented Great Britain in the 1992 Winter Olympics.
