Beautiful book for a skiier
I bought this as a coffee table book for my daughter who would rather live on the slopes than do anything else and she LOVED it. It’s got a whole variety of features. It’s a beautiful book.

What a ride!
This book is amazing. So many interesting stories and so many memories. My 10-year-old son couldn't believe how different the techniques and equipment were 'in the olden days' LOL

Got this as a gift for someone. Although it's wrapped in plastic, it came with ripped edges. Quite disappointed with the quality.
