Description

Ski Atlas of the World is a guide for anyone who has an interest in skiing. The focus of the book is a series of eighty profiles of the best places to ski in Europe and North America, including such world-famous resorts as Val d'Isere, Zermatt, Aspen, and Whistler, and such up andcoming ski areas as Bulgaria, Romania, and Slovakia. Each profile details terrain characteristics, resort character and tone, history of the facilities, and more. Double-page maps, including a largescale map of the world's mountain ranges, help readers plan multi-resort trips by illustrating the resorts' locations relative to each other. Rounding out the Atlas is an overview of skiing in Australasia, Japan, and South America. The editors' encyclopedic knowledge of skiing destinations and infectious enthusiasm for the sport inform every page of this resource. Whatever your skill level and no matter what you're looking for in a resort, Ski Atlas of the World will help you find the perfect place to take your next skiing vacation.
