Great to help you get your head round riding the snow! I bought this book after a disastrous first snowboarding lesson with an instructor who was 'too cool for school'. Not necessarily his fault, he was a teenager and seemed to find it difficult to talk to girls.

In fact, by avoiding the teenage male nonsense and focusing on the pure sport, it's a great way for men to learn as well - so guys, buy it for your girlfriends but read it yourselves!

Kudos to Julia, this book is truly inspirational! This book is easy to read and chock-full of information. The pictures are strategically placed so that the reader is able to visulaize everything from how a drill works to what type of equipment is out there for women.
