Title : The World Stormrider Guide: Vol 2 (Stormrider Guides)
Author : Antony Colas
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Surfed Out

Buy this book if you have any sense of adventure and enjoy surfing! I couldn't decide if it was worth buying after the original Stormrider guide, but this new adition contains loads of different spots! I never even thought that some of these places had such sick waves. I've started to plan next years trips already, great help, loads of info, buy it!!

Title : Where to Ski Snowboard 2007 (The 1000 Best Winter Sports Resorts in the World)
Author : Chris Gill
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Don't book your ski holiday without looking at this book!

Really useful guide ~ it gives lots of information on all aspects of the resort and slopes; both good and bad, in a very logical and well laid out format. I have used it for my last 3 ski holidays and have found the info spot on. It also includes comments that other readers have sent in which adds to the breadth of information.

Title : The All-mountain Skier: The Way to Expert Skiing
Author : Mark Elling
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Top notch - still a reference book for me

I'm a Ski Instructor and can heartily recommend this book.. especially the section on "you can blame your equipment sometimes" ! I used it myself a few years ago when I was preparing for my instructor exams and found it an excellent read. The exercises are useful too and some of them have found their way into a number of my high-end lessons.

It's also good in that it's a modern book - ski technology has changed over the years and therefore so has technique. This book is up to date, as opposed to some (although still excellent in some areas) other books that are now becoming dated.

As others have said, it's not a book for beginners but if you have an idea of proper ski control, body management etc. it can give you a good headstart for a week away and will make an instructors life easier when you go for tune-up lessons !

Title : Pipe Dreams: A Surfer's Journey
Author : Kelly Slater
Rating : 3 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Interesting but average...

This should have been a fascinating read, after all, Kelly Slater has dominated the surfing scene like no one else before and is still considered by many as one of the most powerful surfers around today. However, what we actually get is none of the passion of Kelly's surfing and weak writing lets down what could have been a fascinating story. It all too often has the feel of a school project and even the climax of a world championship fought out in the finals of the Pipemasters contest in Hawaii fails to conjure up the tension it should.

All surfers should find this an interesting enough read, but Kelly should have employed the services of a biographer to tell his story. Not in the same league as Tony Hawk's autobiography.

Title : Allen and Mike's Really Cool Telemark Tips (Falcon Guide)
Author : Allen O'Bannon
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Along side Parker's book telemark heaven is just a turn away

Relevent tips and humourous illustrations make this one of the most approachable books, in not just telemark, but all spheres of skiing. All you now need are snowy mountains.

Title : The All-mountain Skier: The Way to Expert Skiing
Author : Mark Elling
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : The best ski book. For anyone except total beginners.

Some people will never be able to get any benefit from reading a book on a sport. Not everyone can take the knowledge of _how_ something should be done and the advice on how it should look/feel, and be thinking about it when they are trying to perform the action later. For them, all such books are wasted efforts.

Luckily for me I get real benefits from these sorts of books if they are done well. Especially in sports that are technical and often counter-intuitive, which skiing certain is.

This book is superb example of a sports manual and it does all that one could hope for in a book.

For me the most useful aspects of the book are:
- the author explaining to you in detail what is happening when you ski, how it works, what your body does and what the skis do
- how it should _feel_ to do something right. This allows you to have a goal to work towards and goes some way to addressing the disadvantages of not having an instructor.
- the drills

The overall structure of the book is also a strong point. The author breaks down 'skiing' into stance, steering, edging, body movement etc and goes into great detail on each. This helps you to target areas more specifically and find where lies the weakness that seems to be holding you back.

There is also a great section on choosing your equipment, and perhaps more importantly, having it set up correctly.

Later on in the book the chapters move away from this 'toolbox' approach and onto how a skier should use their tools ski in a certain manner and to deal with different terrain and conditions (steeps, crud, trees, bumps).

This sections of the book feels like getting the best advice your instructor/friends ever gave you. Certainly you then have to get out there and do it in order to learn, but at least you know what you should be doing, how it should feel, what your problems may be etc.

I have already gone on long enough, but in closing I would remind anyone reading how much even 1 hour of tuition costs. Even if you don't get as much out of this book as I did it is a bargain, and the _only_ book I would recommend.

I would defy anyone to read it and not feel that they have learned something which they can use to improve their skiing.

Title : The Stormrider Guide: Europe - Complete Colour Atlas and Guide to All the Surfing Locations in Europe
Author : Oliver Fitzjones
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : you NEED this book

If you don't have a copy you should buy one right now. The definitive bible of european surfing. Loads of spots you've heard of and loads you haven't. Fantastic photos make this good for a bit of wishful reading - and detailed maps make it an ideal travel guide.

Title : Snowboarding Skills: The Back to Basics Essentials for All Levels
Author : Cindy Kleh
Rating : 4 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Lots of useful tips.

A well laid out book which covers the basics but also offers tips on technique and common riding problems for more experienced snowboarders. Better than a lot of the other books on offer

Title : The All-mountain Skier: The Way to Expert Skiing
Author : Mark Elling
Rating : 2 Stars out of 5.
Summary : I can't agree with all the comments!

It's a good basic book and a useful reference. But it won't make you a good skier and it certainly won't make you "an advanced skier overnight".

If you're anything but a beginner take a look at "The Athletic Skier" by Warren Witherell and see what a really good ski manual is all about.

Title : The Stormrider Guide: Europe - Complete Colour Atlas and Guide to All the Surfing Locations in Europe
Author : Oliver Fitzjones
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Indispensable

You must buy this book if you're planning on going further afield than your regular break. I spent 8 months in France and found some great spots on the back of this book. And when you're stuck at home, you'll find yourself drooling over the pictures and mentally planning your way around europe!

Title : Where to Ski Snowboard 2007 (The 1000 Best Winter Sports Resorts in the World)
Author : Chris Gill
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Great factual guide to resorts

I can't live without this book any more when going snowboarding. It's also fun browsing through it when you're deciding where to go.

Excellent piste maps, resort descriptions, and ratings of all sorts of things. The town plans are terrible and it's a shame there aren't more photos, but there's too much information to fit in big photos.

Title : "Time Out" Ski Guide (Time Out Ski Snowboarding Europe)
Author :
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Best European Ski Guide by Miles!!!

Working out where to go skiing has always been a bit like Russian roulette: most of the time you get away with it but sometimes you have a nightmare of a trip. Not any more. This book helps you make an informed decision on where, when and what to do when you get there. It includes all sorts of info such as which runs to take on, which restaurants to eat at or which bars to frequent. And because all the European resorts are covered, once you've decided where to go this season, you can get to thinking where you want to go next time around as well!!

Love it.

Author : Antony Colas
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Excellent reference for surfers in search for the best waves

Illustrated surf world Atlas. Provides very good surfing travel tips, swell and wind statistics. Includes pictures and detailed maps.Makes you wonder you were in the other part of the World!
