For some, it's a serene communication with nature as they glide down a gentle slope in silence, for others it's a 100-miles-an-hour descent down an almost vertical piste with an evening of beer, cheese and singing as a follow-up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Little Book of Skiing delves into this fascinating sport, starting with the history and encompassing pretty much everything that draws us to beautiful white slopes across the world. So whether you're a once-a-year wobble-down-a-nursery-slope type or a skiing superstar in lycra, this book will inform, amaze and amuse, and hopefully make your next epic power day that little bit better.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSAMPLE QUOTE:\u003cbr\u003e\"\"There are really only three things to learn in skiing: how to put on your skis, how to slide downhill, and how to walk along the hospital corridor.\"\"\u003cbr\u003e- From A Chinaman in My Bath and other pieces by Lord Mancroft, 1974\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSAMPLE FACT:\u003cbr\u003eThe word 'ski' comes from the ancient Norse word 'skio', which means a split piece of wood.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mb-1 mt-2 whitespace-pre-line leading-relaxed first:mt-0\" data-sentry-component=\"P\" data-sentry-source-file=\"p.tsx\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDETAILS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublisher: Orange Hippo!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublication date: October 12, 2021\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eISBN\/EAN: 1800692013 \/ 9781800692015\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 0.8\" H x 5.5\" L x 4.6\" W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShips direct from distributor in 3 to 7 business days\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Cedar Leaf Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45209075220524,"sku":"9781800692015","price":9.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0697\/2234\/1420\/files\/9781800692015.jpg?v=1768875486","url":"https:\/\/cedarleafbooks.com\/products\/the-little-book-of-skiing-wonder-wit-wisdom-for-the-slopes-little-books-of-sports","provider":"Cedar Leaf Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
