This review is from: Tao of skiing: An aide memoire for cross-country skiing aficionados (CD-ROM)
The amazing thing is that... this CD cost me less than a day pass at the local ski site, and saved me years of floundering around on snow. Tao (the way) of skiing is a large web site on a CD-Rom, complete with ample advise (text, images and small movies). The movies were a lot of fun and the text was straight to the point. (The way you would want to be instructed). Personally, I thoroughly enjoyed the package and appreciated what it has done for me... and I'm not hung on an occasional Typo.

Tao of Skiing is technically not a book. It is a CD-ROM packed full of goodies. The multimedia works very well especially if you are looking for a better way to ski. The Tao of Sking is the most rewarding reference I have found. Thousands of hints and ideas, photos, diagrams and a dozen quicktime videos kept me totally engaged. I also purchased the xczone video "On Snow" and can highly recommend both.

I bought the CD-ROM not knowing what to expect having read most books and seen most videos on cross-country skiing.
Integrating both video and text was a brilliant idea. When you consider Tao of Skiing must have been conceived pre-1998, doing everything up as a web site was visionary for the time.
The instructional information was priceless and the little videos were an unexpected treat. I would like to see the videos on DVD in the future.
I understand that the same company XCZONE is putting out a film this year.
