This book, aimed at young readers, follows the journey of Veronika Velez-Zuzulová, the Slovak skiing icon, from her childhood to her entry into professional skiing. It also includes an encyclopedic section covering the history of skiing disciplines, rules, and even features the so-called "White Codex"—guidelines for proper behavior on the slopes.
Austrian Alps
Veronika’s father preparing skis in the basement before the race
The impact of human activity and climate change on ski resorts
Early in the morning in front of the panel block
At a gas station in Austria on the way to the race
Veronika in front of the class talking about her dream of becoming a professional skier
The ski resort is bustling on race day
Veronika in action
And here we go!
You need to be careful on the slope!
…all sorts of things are flying around!
