    Here's what the industry insiders have to say about Gearing To Go Guide:

    "The New Skiers Gearing To Go Guide is a must have tool for the rental operator and ski school director. By providing a clear view of what to expect, new skier's fears will be reduced as well as their confusion. Anyone looking to provided their customers with a better experience in the rental or ski school environment should consider adding the New Skiers Gearing To Go Guide to their programs."
    --William McSherry, 2004 Product Manager for Head Tyrolia Wintersport

    For years the industry has identified that new skiers need information, special attention and handling to overcome the high drop-out rate. Heidi's program is the first to address these needs and provide the information that every new skier can benefit from.
    --Steve Hanft, Site Risk Manager for Big Bear Mountain Resorts.

    Heidi Ettlinger's Gearing To Go Guide & DVD provide first time skiers with basic information necessary to make their experience enjoyable. In recognizing the need for first timers to have access to information, Gearing To Go is a great step forward in promoting the sport of skiing to the general public.
    --Michael Allen, Director for Ski Schools of Heavenly

    The New Skiers Gearing to Go Guide is the most effective education aid I have seen addressing the questions that most first time skiers have. I have found the chapter on how a rental boot fits to be especially helpful.
