A ‘That’s just the way it is,’ guide to skiing. Written in a series of hints, tips and anecdotes all gathered over thirty years skiing on the slopes of Europe. Despite the author being the type who gets worn out climbing the stairs and who has to wear a coat in July, she has a clear passion for the sport, and even once said she preferred it to chocolate. This is not a how to ski guide, more a light-hearted, read for those who have been skiing, those who want to go skiing or those who are merely curious.
