"How To Ski and How Not To" by Vivian Caulfeild is an instructional guide about skiing written in the early 20th century. This book offers insights on the proper techniques for skiing, highlighting both effective strategies and common pitfalls to avoid. It is likely aimed at beginners who wish to master this sport while also considering the cultural attitudes towards skiing among different nationalities, particularly focusing on English ski-runners in comparison to their continental counterparts. The opening of the work sets the scene by outlining the importance of skis as an essential tool in snowy environments, detailing how they allow for efficient movement compared to snowshoes. Caulfeild discusses the advantages skiing offers in terms of speed and maneuverability, particularly on downhill slopes. The author emphasizes the necessity of mastering proper techniques from the start to cultivate one's skill and efficiency in skiing, and he expresses his thoughts on the typical standards of English versus continental ski-runners, setting the tone for a thorough exploration of skiing techniques and the pursuit of excellence in the sport.
