Review # 1 was written on 2016-01-04 00:00:00 Darlene Fromhart Solid, often humorous and entertaining book on cross country ski technique. I was expecting more in the way of backcountry technical skills and advice; however, most of the backcountry knowledge was around equipment selection and high-level advice. While the technique description is very detailed, the pictures don't quite suffice for this purpose. The instructions from this book will likely need to be supplemented with videos or in-person ski lessons (though to be fair, the author advises this).

Review # 2 was written on 2013-01-28 00:00:00 Steven Hines A good guide for beginners. I especially learned a lot from the section about the equipment and how to choose between the many types of skis/bindings/boots etc. The descriptions and pictures of Norway have compelled me to add "hut-to-hut ski in Norway" to my bucket list.
