On the mountain, even the best-laid plans can be ruined by the weather. For skiers, choosing a resort can be a lottery, with enormous variations from place to place. This book shows how a basic understanding of meteorology, combined with knowledge of the local climate, can help you predict what conditions will be like, and provides a wealth of climatic information about the world's most popular resorts. Topics featured include understanding the interaction of snow, sun and shade; a look at the climates of the world's major mountain ranges; how to work out which resort to visit and when; safety and comfort; as well as easy-to-follow charts and tables.
