Price: 1400 yen I'm an amateur skier, but this book was helpful when I started skiing with my child. It includes detailed photos and explanations of how to prepare for the slopes, how to avoid making them dislike it, how to choose equipment, and of course, how to practice to improve their skills. Using this book as a reference, we started on the slopes (just playing in the snow) when my child was 3 years old, and put them on skis at age 4. They were completely hooked on skiing! Purchased new a few years ago. It's in good condition with no folds, tears, or writing. This item is available for immediate purchase. Please consider that it is a used item before purchasing.
