Ski-running

Katharine Furse writes a warm, practical handbook for anyone stepping onto skis for the first time. Drawing on years of teaching across Alpine resorts, she answers the questions new skiers keep asking, from basic stance to tackling the first gentle slope. Her tone combines clear instruction with a love of the mountains, inviting readers to experience the quiet, snow‑covered places that only a ski can reach.

She also shares seasoned advice on when to travel, recommending late January through March for the best snow and uncrowded runs, and offers honest recommendations on gear and resorts she trusts. The book is peppered with personal anecdotes and vivid sketches that bring the Alpine atmosphere to life without overwhelming the novice. Listeners will finish with a solid foundation and the confidence to enjoy skiing as a full‑body, soul‑lifting sport.
