 Fantastic guide not just for experts April 11, 2007
Great guide that's useful for practical information as well as fun just to read. The fun formatt with lost of great photos, to the point fact boxes and casual text style make it not just a guide book but also a great read. Excellent for researching new destinations you haven't been to yet. As a beginner I was very happy to see that all levels of snowboarders are catered for in the guide. Highly recommend it to anyone with an interest in snowboarding!
 Global guide December 19, 2006
Very good layout, very good photos and very good text. The stats on the right hand side also add important information. The resorts are written by people who've been there - it shows. It won't fit in your pocket - I have one that does and it's rubbish. Many years of knowhow by people in the know. Highly recommended !!
great snowboarders guide December 14, 2006
What a great resource this book is for beginners and experienced showboarders alike. It's packed with all the information you need to know, some that you don't (but might make you laugh), tips and suggestions, maps, graphs and easy to read ratings of facilities. Chuck in some great stories from some of the big names and some great photography and it's a pretty much indispensable guide to all the resorts you thought you knew, but will now know much better, and to all the resorts you never knew even existed, but can now visit with confidence.
Great Snowboarding Guide November 28, 2006
Enjoyed Snowboarding the World. Very well laid out with great design. Easy to find all the top snowboarding resorts by region. Pictures are great, with some area maps. Area reviews have all the key information distilled into a brief essense, yet still keeps some inside local knowledge. Now to somehow figure out how to visit all the resort listed!

From my own personal experience:
They wrote about my local ski fields in NZ and basically hit the nail on the head with their descriptions, advice, culture, conditions and stories. I would say that it seems consistent through the entire guide.
To back up my review I have just bought 5 copies to pass onto my friends and family as an ideal Christmas gift.
Happy shopping
Peace
