Descripción del productoCríticas"Fry notes that the direct work of his book consumed four years. The greater truth is that it is the result of more personal research spanning a lifetime, a degree of comprehension that comes only from having been there."--Skiing Heritage "It's impressive how much Fry actually does pack into a volume that would fit in a skier's backpack along with a couple of sandwiches. Modern Skiing is full of helpful timelines, appendices and glossaries, along with ski trivia." --Seven Days, Burlington, VT "Fry takes you through the advent of lifts and snowmaking, the glory days of freestyle, the ups and downs of ski racing, and what skiing has meant to life, the environment and the ecomony. Fry's love and deep understanding of the sport comes through page after page, and one picks up the book feeling like they're joining in a great conversation with a ski friend."--Boston Herald "John Fry . . . has written a thorough and entertaining history of the sport's growth. Fry skillfully and vividly touches on what seems to be every aspect of skiing's growth."--Vermont Life--Este texto se refiere a la edición hardcover.Biografía del autorJOHN FRY is the former editor-in-chief of SKI, America's oldest ski magazine, and founding editor of the award-winning New York Times magazine Snow Country.

Skiing both as recreation and as a sport was a natural development from its utilitarian applications. One of the first competitions was a cross-country skiing race at Troms\u00f8, Norway, in 1843. There was competitive skiing in California in the 1860s on straight downhill courses, using 12-foot (3.7-metre) skis with only toe straps (the heels were loose).
