A new picture book of skiing has been published, seemingly aimed at those fairly new to skiing, although it could make a nice gift for those who already know the sport.
Lavishly illustrated with hand-drawn pictures by author and illustrator Kimberley Kay, an avid skier and former ski racer (pictured below), Ski A to Z is a fun introduction to skiing.
There are several sections for each letter of the alphabet, with A covering Alpine Skiing,. Artificial Ski Slopes, Altitude, Avalanche and Apres Ski …before we move on to B for Boots and Bindings!
Along with a simple description aimed at clearly demystifying each topic, there's also a list of practical tips.
The book aims to explains what it can take years to discover, and many things that no one mentions to beginner skiers.
Ski A to Z retails at £12.95 available from Waterstones
