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
...a no-holds-barred look at ski resorts. Unlike snazzy brochures that claim their respective resorts are perfect for everyone, this guide offers the lowdown on which places are better for families, singles, honeymooners, beginners and experts. --Gannett Newspapers
For anyone wanting to find out about and explore the full variety of North American skiing, ... SkiSnowboard America is better. As a reader, I like a book I can use while traveling, for booking a room or dinner. Is this too much to ask? Charles Leocha puts his readers first. Other guides would be better if they followed his example. --Sunday Telegraph
