Paul Parker wrote the
definitive discourse on off-the-run skiing with his first edition of this book.
Time has only improved it. Every skier from the expert backcountry telemarker to
the improving bunny-hill snowplower MUST read this book. What Mr. Parker has
done is to condense all the theories and techniques and observations of the
skiing community into a simple, progressive instructional guide. He starts with
very basic snowplowing and ends with telemarking, and in between shows how all
the different styles are linked and flow into each other. All of it is described
with marvelous clarity and engaging style.
