“This book is simply the bomb.
It starts off with the mechanics of skiing and proceeds to explain the application of the mechanics. It finishes with real world scenarios to make it all come together.
The book is a must read for anyone that needs to know how skis and skiing works such as coaches and instructors. The information is presented in a clear and understandable fashion. The photos and...” --MastersRacer

“
"Total Skiing," written by Chris Fellows is the most comprehensive textbook for improving skiing performance on the market today. I do not make this statement lightly because I own, and have read, all the others. About seven years ago my wife introduced me to skiing. As a retiring engineer I was not about to jump literally into such a - I'll use the word demanding - sport without...” --garrettahughes

If you have any intention of going backcountry skiing, you need to read this book. It not only teaches you about avalanches, it teaches you how to think like an avalanche -- which is the best way to avoid being caught in an avalanche, says the book's author, Bruce Tremper, whose CV includes being director of the Utah Avalanche Center. The late Doug Coombs considered this book "the bible for...” --nolo

Weems had me at the cover. Ancient Wisdom, Modern Skiing, and Big Fun are what turn me on. The photography is stunning. The layout is elegant. I even like the fonts.
Those who read the first edition will get even more out of reading the second edition, because during the time between the two publications Weems was busy using the Sports Diamond in...” --nolo

“I found this book to be a very enjoyable read, and very useful for an experienced skier looking to hone his or her technique in variable snow conditions. I applied what I read here about skiing in crud, and found it made an immediate improvement in my skiing.
The book covers a full range of more advanced skiing such as powder, crud, moguls, steeps, trees, and even hucking cliffs. The book...” --EuroHound

Review The Powder Bible
After reading TPB I can honestly say that this is exactly what it is all about.
I know Richard for many years and while he was instructing the rich and famous at Deer Valley I was already doing “My thing”. Storm chasing in the US and Canada year after year. During one of the Snow Safaris I met Richard and had the pleasure to ski with him at...” --paedde

“
This book challenges many popular assumptions about talent, ability, and what it means to be "gifted." Bloom's study affirms his theory that talent alone is not enough to achieve extraordinary levels of achievement (in any field of human endeavor) without a long and intensive process of family encouragement, a nurturing environment, and dedicated training. Environmental factors are more...” --nolo

“
After hearing a story about the 10th Mountain Division on NPR a few months ago, I talked about it so much that my wife must have made a mental note to pick out a book for my Christmas stocking (she's clever like that). She chose well; "Climb to Conquer" is written by Peter Shelton, a contributing editor at SKI magazine, and has a wonderful perspective any skier can appreciate. I won't go into...” --skier219
