From the lively apres-ski in the fairytale setting of southern Germany's charming Garmisch-Partenkirchen to the demanding black diamond runs of Whistler in British Columbia, the high-tech wonder of the world's largest snow-making system at Lake Tahoe, USA to the sukii-jou (small ski areas) of Japan's Nagano Prefecture, this unique collection showcases the very best in skiing experiences available today. Whether the reader is a daredevil heliskier, yearning for superb scenery and solitary carving in perfect powder conditions, or has an appetite for apres-ski, this treasure chest of a book is the perfect inspiration.
