The old Good skiing guides are worth reading. So much better than the newer where to ski and snowboard guides. Much more information, no adverts and proper piste plans to scale so that you can preoperly compare resorts. There must still be plenty for sale on Amazon and in second hand shops ?

pam w, yer, I picked up a hardcopy while in the Office de Tourisme in St Jean de Maurienne the other week. I was glad to find it online too to pass around - though the pictures look nicer in print 
They also had wall posters of the map on pages 4/5 for, I think €10.

ADAC ski atlas of Europe updated every year and completely unbiased evaluations of just about every resort in Europe including many most have never heard of. Fun to flick through to see how some old favourites halved changed and to discover new and completely unpronounceable ones.
Slight hiccup though, as far as I know it is only published in German!

War & Piste (by Alex Thomas) for me too! Hilarious, gripping, and scarily true (if you've done a season)... Anyone know if there's likely to be a sequel?
