Jimmy Petterson är en av världens mest publicerade skidjournalister. I den här boken tar han med dig till 47 olika länder med foton och berättelser.
• This is an inspirational world ski guidebook. It is a 440-page, large format, coffee-table hardback - chock full of exciting and interesting experiences to inspire every skier, snowboarder, adventurer, and traveller. Lavishly produced with hundreds of full-colour photos, this is a travelogue depicting the ski culture and character of 47 fascinating countries and 200 ski areas...and the most comprehensive writing on each ski destination seen in a ski guidebook.
• Join Jimmy Petterson in Verbier, Alta, Chamonix and many of the world's most famous ski resorts, and continue with him to find his secret powder stashes in various lesser-known ski areas. Allow your senses to be inundated by the sights, sounds and smells of Marrakech and the nearby Atlas Mountains. Be entertained by adventures of snowmobile skiing in Greenland and meet the legendary father of extreme skiing, Sylvain Saudan on his recent heliskiing trips to the Himalayas of Kashmir. Ski and board through the Alps, the Rockies, the Caucasus, the Andes, the Tien Shan Mountains and many other beautiful ranges.

Jimmy Petterson is one of the world's most published ski journalists, with photos and stories having been published in fifteen countries. He is an American, educated at the University of Southern California but to the disappointment of his father, he has spent most of the last 30 years as a ski bum. This opus is a work of passion.

"If you are serious about your off-piste skiing you must own this book. It is totally inspirational, detailing personal accounts of Jimmy's skiing experiences, the focus of each of his dits is steep off-piste skiing and ski touring. His stories are interesting, informative and really try to give you a feel for the essence and character of the ski area. Each account is illustrated with beautifull photos.
• It contains all the usual favourites in Europe and N America, but also areas as diverse as Morocco, Iran and Greenland. This adds a travel adventure element you're unlikely to find in any other ski guide. The book is big - and 440 pages.
• If your bag is on piste skiing this book will be of little interest, however, if you want to lay fresh tracks in the best and most interesting mountains across the globe I can't recommend this book enough."
