5.0 out of 5 stars Very funny, and not just for skiers, 7 Dec 2000
By matthall@canada.com (Calgary, Canada) - See all my reviews
I am giving this collection of travel stories five stars not for sparkling prose or timeless classic potential, but because I found it immensely enjoyable. Finkel, an American freelancer on various skiing and sports magazines, travels all over the world and has a funny and thoughtful way of telling the reader about it. Look out for a great description of skiing on dry slopes in Britain, and a brilliant account of skiing on America's smallest slope. I didn't put it down, and finished it in a day.
