Title: How to Ski the Blues and Blacks (Without Getting Black and Blue) by Craig McNeil ISBN: 1-889796-08-5 Publisher: Sequoia Pub Pub. Date: 20 December, 1998 Format: Mass Market Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $9.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 4.12 (8 reviews)
Rating: 3
Summary: Good but Outdated
Comment: While still being sold as new, this book is going on 7 years old. Quantum leaps have been made in equipment technology that are not reflected in the prose--either teaching or equipment. Also, a third of the book is devoted to ski areas, but the information is badly outdated. Most areas have added new runs and modernized lift systems. And rates, well...I skied Breckenridge April 3 for $65 a day. Adult rate is listed at $47 in the book. Booksellers should demand updates.

Summary: Great techniques for great skiing and much more!
Comment: A terrific book! It's amazing how Craig can fit so much excellent information into such a small space.
I bought this book, not because of reviews, but because I've met Craig and seen him ski. I can assure you that he is among the most knowledgeable, thoughtful and skillful ski instructors to be found anywhere.
Buy this book, carry it with you on the slopes and try the techniques. Your skiing WILL improve. Better yet, buy it, study it, then contact Craig and sign up for lessons.
If you want to read about these superb, efficient skiing techniques in more detail you should also pick up Harald Harb's "Anyone Can Be An Expert Skier" books as well. (They're awesome and include more info but won't fit in your pocket.)

Summary: Sad
Comment: I can't say I've read the whole book for one reason, the advice is horrible. The technique that Mr. McNeil preaches, to keep your feet together, is simply wrong. It's sad that such poor advice is still being published and unknowing beginners are learning bad traits. Keep your feet apart and learn how to ski.
