Scottish Skiing - Ed Rattray - Winter Sports Category: Books Description: Later, he was active in helping to set up the Scottish National Ski Council in 1963 (now known as Snowsport Scotland). The skiing movement in Scotland burst into life as soon as the first major ski tows and lifts were built in 1961. He was just one of tens of thousands of skiers swept along by the euphoria of the time and it was the beginning of what he calls the skiing revolution. Throughout the 1960s, when Scotland went skiing, more than a hundred clubs were formed while schools, youth organisations, and thousands of other individuals, discovered the winter mountains. From that movement, young Scottish athletes emerged and began to dominate in the sport to become British Alpine Skiing Champions and GB Olympic Team members. His involvement at club and national level over many years meant he amassed a large archive of information and pictures, which he uses to illustrate this, his historical interpretation of the last half of the last century: The Golden Years of Scottish Skiing. So, this book is part history, part memoir and part anecdote.

Silly Mummy (Dublin, Ireland) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Footprint Handbooks Skiing Europe: Tread Your Own Path (Paperback)

I got this for the very hard to impress man in my life and he loved it. Lovely finish on the book. It looks great. Its reviews of the resorts are so easy to follow and compare. It has a nice extra in that it tells you what the locals do and what they dont do.
Really great stuff.

Skiing Europe- Great info, but lack of variety.., 21 April 2012

Slawomir Giecewicz "borysb" (uk eastbourne) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Footprint Handbooks Skiing Europe: Tread Your Own Path (Paperback)

This book has brilliant information over the major ski resorts in Europe. The pictures are stunning, and it has internet links to hotels, bars, pubs, ski rentals, and tuition. The one negative I have to give though, is the lack of resorts. Yes, it has all the 'major' ones, but there are no resorts in Germany, or Poland. Germany, of course, has the Bavarian Alps, and Poland has at least five major resorts. That said, the resorts included have a heap of info and detail, with how many blues, reds, and blacks there are, how many km from the nearest airport, highest lift, town altitude, amount of varied lifts, e.t.c. Maps are included. The following countries they include-
- Austria ( 19 resorts)
- Andorra ( 2 resorts)
- Bulgaria ( 3 resorts)
- Finland ( 2 resorts)
- France ( 36 resorts)
- Italy ( 20 resorts)
- Norway ( 3 resorts)
- Slovenia ( 2 resorts)
- Spain ( 2 resorts)
- Sweden ( 2 resorts)
- Switzerland( 23 resorts)... Read more
