That is one of the observations of a lifelong skier who: • Discovered a skiing paradise in the Canadian Rockies • Experienced a few hard lessons in a snow school • Survived his first descent of a double black diamond • Skied with Olympic champion Nancy Greene • Tried to ski the same track as World Cup racers • Let his mind win over matter when he broke his ribs skiing • Became a professional ski instructor at the age when most people retire from their jobs • Spent a season teaching at the local ski hill • Tells about it all in this entertaining book, a blend of travel, sport and memoir, written with gusto, humor, and love of skiing.
