- This is a great and marvelous book on most of the ski areas in the
- Alps. It has over 600 Pages nearly DIN A4 size filled with maps of the
- areas, phone number, pictures, and comments on the conditions,
- difficulties, etc. They also have classified and tested the areas. The
- book is update yearly, contains lists of prices for the lifts, etc.
- This is the book every one interested in skiing in the Alps should
- consider to buy. It only has a small disadvantage: It's written
- completly in german (:-)). But nevertheless for those interested, it's
- about 60,- DM (40 $).
