If you are serious about ski-ing then this is for you., 23 Apr 2002
This is a very useful guide to preparation and waxing of nordic skis. I have not found anything else so good. It is very clear, but very technical. This is a book for race waxing - it is too complicated if you are only interested in recreational ski-ing.

Published in a handy waterproof plastic jacket, this book could and should be your constant companion as you discover the delights of cross-country skiing.

Cazeneuve is a sports reporter who boasts bylines in Sports Illustrated, the Washington Post, Time and the New York Times. His knowledge of the sport (he also covered the Olympics) and his great enthusiasm for it shine through each page. From the origins of cross-country skiing, through buying the correct equipment and taking your first steps to tackling hypothermia, frost bite and competing in races, this book has it all.

Action shots give you inspiration while technique tips and diagrams of all the latest equipment ensure technical accuracy. All you need now is the motivation!

The book was written to accompany the US public TV show Trailside: Making Your Own Adventure and has companion volumes including Winter Adventure and Snowshoeing.

An excellent book for the beginning cross country skier, 15 Oct 1998
This is an excellent book for the beginning cross country skier. The author gives a good overview of classic track skiing, skating, and backcountry skiing. I would not recommend it for somebody who has XC skied for more than one or two years. For those who would like to begin and have no idea where to start, this is the book for you.
