A showcase of 40 of the world's most outstanding skiing areas on four continents. From the lively apres-ski in the fairytale setting of southern Germany's charming Garmisch-Partenkirchen to the demanding black diamond runs of Whistler in British Columbia, the high-tech wonder of the world's largest snow-making systen at Lake Tahoe, USA to the sukii-jou (small ski areas) of Japan's Nagano Prefecture, this collection explores the very best in skiing experiences available. Whether you are a daredevil heliskier, yearning for superb scenery and solitary carving in perfect powder conditions, or have an appetite for apres-ski, this book should provide the inspiration. The author infuses his narrative with a personal note and anecdotal detail. The Ski Club of Great Britain has supplied fact boxes for each resort: accessibility, height, number and level of pistes, and number of lifts.
Ski correspondent for the Financial Times since 1986, Arnie Wilson has skied in 535 resorts in over 20 countries and has no plans to retire until he has made it 1000. In 1994 he skied every day for a year - a feat that took him to 240 resorts in 13 countries around the world and into the Guinness Book of Records. Arnie's other books include the Thomas Cook International Top 50 Ski Resorts (1989) and Ski The World (1998). He contributes regularly to Country Life, High Life, Business Traveller, The Good Skiing and Snowboarding Guide, GQ Active and all British ski magazines. He has interviewed skiing celebrities such as Clint Eastwood, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Princess Caroline of Monaco, Buzz Aldrin and Cindy Crawford.
