It takes no advertising, has no ax to grind, and is written by Leocha together with an international team of prize-winning ski and snowboard journalists.The writers let skiers and snowboarders know whether the resort is a cluster of condominiums clinging to a steep slope or a traditional mountain village exuding old-world atmosphere; and whether they should pack a sequined gown or simply bluejeans for the nightlife. They also give a no-nonsense, accurate, and dependable rating of the ski terrain.Ski Snowboard America includes expanded up-to-date coverage of more than 100 resorts in the U.S. and Canada.

About the Author:
Charlie lives in New England and has skied virtually every major North American and European resort. He is a black-diamond skier, but a double-diamond apres-skier with great energy and dancing ability. He knows which resorts have the best wine lists and the best bacon-and-eggs breakfasts. He is seen regularly on MSNBC and PBS as a travel expert.
Review:
Covering almost every resort in North America, this book is the most comprehensive out there. Long on restaurant and hotel suggestions, it s also useful for getting off the beaten path. You may have skied Lake Tahoe many times, but only a local would send you over to Diamond Peak for tree skiing in Solitude Canyon. The best all-around guide for North America, hands down. --Ski Magazine
