The
Avalanche Handbook
This book provides a thorough introduction to avalanche
theory. The book is divided into chapters which
build a solid foundation (weather systems, snow
structure) through snowpack basics (snow strength
and deformation, snowpack structure) and well into
more advanced concepts (snowpack analysis, avalanche
prediction, search and rescue, and even control
with explosives, etc.) It is an excellent, if heavy,
read and I found it a valuable resource in the development
of an intro avalanche course. |

Anyone
Can Be an Expert Skier :The Definitive Shaped Ski
Owner's Guide
The book features Harald Harb's "Primary Movements
Teaching System", a revolutionary system that
should mean that whatever your current ability level,
you learn expert technique and avoid the dead-end
movements that keep you at the intermediate level.
Harb is the industry leader in balance and alignment
research. Here, he describes the latest developments.
You'll learn to select boots and shaped skis to
maximise your skiing performance, and you'll understand
how equipment affects your ability to move and balance
while skiing. As well as a number of colour photographs,
the book features handy tear-out, colour "Pocket
Instructor" cards that you can take with you
to the pistes. |
