Summary "Ski-Running" by Crichton Somerville, Richardson, and Rickmers is a practical guide on the sport of skiing, written in the early 20th century. The publication serves as an informative resource, detailing both the historical aspects of skiing as well as technical instructions for beginners and advanced practitioners alike. The book aims to explore not only the mechanics of skiing but also the joys and challenges associated with it." "The opening of this guide sets the stage by explaining the recent surge in interest surrounding skiing as a winter sport. The authors begin with a preface that highlights their objective of providing a comprehensive account of skiing—both as a pastime and a means of outdoor adventure. They reflect on past critiques and aim to offer clarity on technical practices while integrating discussions on equipment and techniques essential for mastering skiing. The narrative introduces the origins of skiing, positioning it as a longstanding tradition that has evolved into a popular recreational activity across varied landscapes."
