Editorial Reviews
Midwest Book Review
WomenSki helps women understand how they can ski better and enjoy skiing as a life-long activity. Claudia Carone brings into clear focus decades of struggle with instruction, technique and equipment faced by women in a male-dominated sport. Though more and more women are learning to ski, fewer and fewer are staying in the sport. In fact, though women initially outnumber men on the slopes, they tend to stop skiing altogether within only two years. WomenSki discusses what has been happening between the time women first try skiing and the time they say "Enough"! Women are biomechanically different than men, they learn differently, and they enjoy skiing for different reasons. Variations in teaching techniques are compelled by physical factors and differences in how women approach and enjoy this outdoor sport, including equipment from skis and boots to parkas and wind pants necessarily designed and structured specifically for women. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
