Just a list....

Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2008

This might make a great checklist of places to go for someone with unlimited funds but there's not really any information in it about the resorts or skiing...just lists of facts that one would get directly from the resorts anyway to ensure one had current information. I would not buy this book again.

Choice of Two

Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2007

I was looking for a good ski guide and after much research I narrowed my choice down to two: this one and Leocha's Ski Snowboard America (2007). After having purchased and used both guides I can recommend both. But if you are only buying one, then your choice should be around WHERE you are planning to ski.

This guide is great for reviews of all the major resorts in North America and Europe (although it has very little on other countries such as NZ, Chile, Japan etc). A bonus is glossy colour trail maps of all the resorts they cover in detail. It also has lots of ad's and details for travel agents, hotels and the like if you are looking for that information.

Leocha's Ski Snowboard America (2007) guide has no information on resorts outside North America (obviously), but it does provide richer information and insights than the Great guide. It provides better insights on food and accommodation as well as some views on the best runs - which I found to be very helpful and accurate. It doesn't have the glossy trail maps - although these days they can be found on-line for most resorts.

In Summary: if you are "going global" or want the glossy trail maps - go with the Great guide. If you are sticking to North America then I found Leocha's to be more insightful. [Review repeated under Leocha's]

Good reference guide

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 7, 2007

Verified Purchase

Good reference guide with fair amount of additional information (local hotels, places to eat, etc) and very useful categorisation of resorts (e.g. value, families, apres ski, etc). Only niggles are that I'd have liked more detail and volume of information in some places, and the piste maps need a magnifying glass to get a good feel of the runs available at each resort - they are big enough to give you a good overview and the number and difficulty (green, blue, red, black) but you don't get the detail (e.g. the direction of lifts/pistes and whether some that appear to connect do in fact connect or not...) Summary - An excellent guide to help you choose a resort, with some useful pointers on hotels etc, but lacking detail once you've selected a resort.
