Wherever there is just a flake of snow, there are enthusiastic fans of winter sports - always on the lookout for the longest slope in the Andes, the most spectacular descent in the Alps, the most legendary hut in the Rockies.

In the book "The Ultimate Ski Book", ski expert Gabriella Le Breton gathers everything that excites the passionate skier - and much more: Here you will also find the most beautiful views, the most remote resorts, the best restaurants. And of course, real ski legends have their say and give their tips for life on the two boards that mean the world.
