Ski-running

"Ski-running" by Katharine Furse is a guide designed for people new to skiing, as well as those who already enjoy it. Written in the 1920s, the book talks about different parts of skiing like where to go, how to do it, and how to act while skiing. The author shares stories from her own time skiing in the Alps. She wants to answer questions that new skiers often have, so they can understand and love skiing more. The beginning of the book tells you what it's about, which is helping beginners understand skiing. Furse talks about why she wrote the book, explaining that experienced skiers helped her, and she wants to do the same for others. She explains that skiing is about learning how to ski but also about enjoying the peace and beauty of the mountains. She talks about picking good skiing spots, giving advice on gear, and suggesting ways to deal with problems when you're first starting.
