"Love the photos!" according to TurquoiseJane. Really nice book, love the photos. My favorite part was the ski fashion section. I would have liked a longer/more detailed filmography of great skiing movies. Otherwise, this makes a great coffee table book to look through apres ski.. "Five Stars" according to kerriann ford. Great book! Arrived quickly!
