Review Skiing is an exhilarating journey and Ellen is one of the best guides you could have. What always fascinates me about Ellen's books is the complete scope of the material covered and the degree of detail addressed. And yet, each book is so clear and easy to follow that I want to go out and try it. She takes the mystery out of learning. Skiing and the Art of Carving is not only the first book on how to maximize performance with today's equipment, it is also the definitive book on the subject. -- Mike Porter, Vail/Beaver Creek Ski School Director From the Publisher Foster writes in a very clear and succinct style that can be understood by readers of all levels. Equally as important as her descriptive texts is the visual expression provided by Schönberger's extensive photography of highly talented demonstrators. Skiing and the Art of Carving has more than 300 telling photographs many of which are painstaking composites. More effective than the fleeting images of a video, the reader can study each image in relation to other images within a movement pattern. From the Author At first glance, skiers notice that Skiing and the Art of Carving is rich in photographic demonstrations, including multiple image composites. The material is written and presented in a way that will help them improve their skills immensely. This is a book that skiers can read at night and apply their new-found knowledge successfully the very next day on the ski slopes.
