Adult/High School-A visual feast. Graphically appealing, wonderful color photographs show snowboarders involved in a variety of activities. Captions, labels, and step-by-step directions further extend the usefulness of the pictures. The colorful borders, use of white space, boxes with information on troubleshooting common problems, and sections with tips from professionals make this book reader friendly. The sport has a language of its own, and placing the glossary at the beginning is helpful to beginners. Teens will find a wealth of information on taking lessons, proper nutrition before hitting the slopes, safety, clothing, stretching and preseason exercises, maintaining the equipment, basic moves, proper etiquette, and riding in a variety of snow conditions. (Comments include, "snowboarding is the most fun you can have with your clothes on" and "avoid drinking alcohol the night before snowboarding.") The full-page diagram on what to look for in a board and terms to know will be helpful to potential buyers. A solid addition to winter sports collections.
