All top tips, helpful tips to get you back comfortable in the mountains. Beautiful illustrations." Chemmy Alcott, 4 Time Winter Olympian, BBC Ski Sunday Presenter and Head Coach CDC Performance, recommended Ski A to Z. "This is an absolute gem and one of the best ski books I've seen. It's perfect for families who are planning on going away on their first ski trip, as well as regular skiers, and it really is what it says it is - the A-Z of skiing. The work that has gone into this book, not just the incredible art, but the perfectly explained details of skiing is quite amazing. You will not be disappointed." - Pat Sharples, Head Coach, Team GB Snowsport. "Such a beautiful book. Every skier and snowboarder should own it. " - Ski Bum Podcast "What makes this book - for me at least - are the flamboyant illustrations. Beacuse this glossary of definitions and suggestions has a backdrop of hugelycolourful and cheerful illustrations, it does wonders for any lingering lessons in the learning process. Allthough much of her advice is serious she does allow a fair bit of humour in her book." Arnie Wilson for Ski+Board Magazine "While the title immediately made me think this would be a kids' book, it is not. Instead, author and illustrator Kay has created a surprisingly comprehensive guide to the basics of skiing in just 80 pages. Full of defintitions, pro-tips, and the basics all beginners need to know, it's a reference volume for any family discovering the joy of snowsports." Brave Ski Mom "As part of our Christmas gift guide series we've picked out some of the best books about sports travel and adventure travel. Must-read titles include: - Ski A to Z by Kimberley Kay" - Sports Tourism Media " Ski A to Z has a lot of good information, practical tips and tricks. It really speaks to all different kinds of audiences that are getting into the sport. It couldn't be any more accessible. The illustrations are wonderful. I really enjoyed the book. The book is awesome and even in an ebook format its kind of wonderful." - Ski Rex Media "I loved reading about everything ski, the book is really easy to read and digest. The illustrations are colourful and interesting. Everything you need to know from the various ski routes to yellow coloured snow! If you have ever wanted to know more about skiing, this book is for you." - MD Harding Travel Photography Blog "This is a book you almost need to read twice, first for the beautiful pictures and then the information. What sets it apart from other ski manuals is the visual feast that lifts the words off the page as your eye darts from the words to the image - as a visual learner, I was engaged by this approach a lot more than any other book and I couldn't put it down. Over the past few weeks, I have found myself returning to thumb over the illustrations as well as the text, each time ensuring that I learn something new. As a result, I am sure next time I am back in the mountains, I will be a more confident, knowledgeable skier, and I am spending much more time down the dry ski slope too. "Not only is it aesthetically pleasing, but the information also is well-written and concise. Organised in an A-to-Z format, it is a handy reference book for the whole family. It can be read cover to cover or picked up for a quick knowledge check. I read it cover to cover
