Dust jacket complete but price clipped. Green cloth with bright gilt titling on spine. No ownership inscription. 96 pages clean and tight.

The system presented here belongs to no particular " school." Instead, it represents the latest thought in skiing technique profiting by the various contributions of the Swiss, French, Austrian and Norwegian champions and teachers.

Completely designed and illustrated by the author . . . one of the finest books on skiing ever published . Size: 4to.…
