These are papers of the meeting in Chamonix, France, May 1987. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.
Growth Potential of the Skier Market in the National Forests
Nationwide study of the skier market, based on 1978 telephone survey, includes regional descriptions of active, inactive, and potential skiers, both downhill and cross-country. Included are estimates of the size of these market classes and detailed descriptions of public images of and attitudes toward skiing, its cost, attractions, facilities, and market needs. The skier market's potential for short term growth is estimated, both regionally and nationally, and the perceived adequacy of the existing developed ski area resource is assessed in terms of its ability to attract, and hold, new participants.

The Physics of Skiing
Just over ten years ago when the first drafts of this book were being written, and even more so a few years after that as it was making its way through the publication process, alpine skiing was experiencing what eventually became a complete revolution in equipment and tech nique: "shaped" or "parabolic" skis completely took over the market, and even relatively beginning skiers expected to carve graceful turns as they schussed down the slopes. Re-reading our work with an eye to revision, we have been surprised to see how our focus on the physics of skiing in the first edition al lowed us to recognize the fundamental importance of what were then quite novel changes in equipment and technique. The essence of the enhancement offered by shaped skis is their greater sidecut radius. Our original discussion (then and now in Chapters 3 and 4) of the crucial role that a ski's sidecut plays in carving a turn caused us to write, for the most part, as if the shaped ski had always been in existence. Sim ilarly, our interest in the geometry ofthe sidecut allowed us to discuss snowboards in some detail as well, for the key to their ability to "shred" down the mountain is their deep sidecut.

Skiing the New Easier Way
For recreational skiers "You have skillfully and accurately described and analyzed a brand new technique that anyone can learn in a quarter of the time it took to learn the old technique. It is a technique that empowers the student to rapidly achieve heights never before possible." -Recreational skier, Tom Humphrey For those of higher levels of skills "I have harassed you for a long time to be more interested in "cross-under" and that good skiing consist in a long S turn, not a series of individual turns. By whatever route, you have come to understand these things; and that is great. I admire the work you have done." -Master Coach, Warren Witherell "I know it has made me a better skier and has made the last few seasons interesting and fun for me and the folks that I do a lot of my skiing with." -Veteran junior race coach, Fred Pease "The Reids relay through their love of skiing and teaching a technique based on what works not what ought to work. Thus, this book is worthwhile reading for the Week-end Skier as well as the World Cup Ski Coach." -Ron Kipp, former Director of Athlete Preparation for the USST
