• "It is an immaculately presented hardcover volume on top quality paper, lavishly illustrated and well laid out ... This volume is no dry official history, but a lively account....I'm neither a skier nor a Cantabrian, but this book made me wish I was both"

         (NZ Outside Snow- winter 2005)

• "a major contribution to the rather slim literature on one of the provinces most popular recreations... In its scope and production, it's a publication which would be hard to match for a jubilee history for any New Zealand sports club"

• "Margaret Rich's.. excellent history of the Mt Cheeseman Ski Club.... anyone with a curiosity about the development of outdoor pursuits will find joy reading this....highly readable. I advise readers to purchase one before the limited number of copies sell out"
