THE COMPLETE SKI GUIDE

This title doesn't lie -- the book is as complete as any I could imagine, and with snow starting in October this year, you should be able to get a good advance on this. Mr. Elkins is Ski Editor for The New York Times and as such naturally knows all the ropes and all the answers. ""Information Please,"" could do no better, it is impossible to stump this expert on safety, technique, patrols, zones, divisions, stakes, prizes, contests or schools here or in Canada.
