The Ultimate Ski Book – Revised Edition takes readers on an unforgettable journey across the world’s snow-covered peaks, celebrating the people, places, and stories that have shaped skiing into the most beloved winter sport.

Discover legendary destinations such as St. Moritz, Aspen, Chamonix, Zermatt, and Niseko — along with hidden alpine gems and breathtaking views from the Andes to the Himalayas.
Written by ski expert Gabriella Le Breton, this revised edition explores not only the best slopes and most spectacular descents, but also the style, fashion, and après-ski culture that make skiing a true way of life.
