Fifty Classic Ski Descents of North America

Wolverine Publishing, Colorado, USA

"I'll cut right to it. The new book, 'Fifty Classic Ski Descents of North America,' could be to ski alpinists what a relic is to religious fanatics. Get this tome into your presence, and the 12 x 13 inch coffee table compilation of mind blowing photos and well written text will have you rubbing your hands over the cover in homage, and carrying it around cradled in your arms like something a priest tasked you to bring out of an icon repository."

-Lou Dawson, WildSnow.com

"'Classic Ski Descents' [is] a sterling masterpiece...Joined with the written contributions of Andrew McLean, Glen Plake, Lou Dawson and Hilaree O'Neill and photographs by more than 50 dedicated visionaries, the authors have gathered a sterling collection of the continent's most inspired ski mountaineering routes."

-The Denver Post

"The photography is striking, both in capturing the inspiring beauty of landscapes and the spine-tingling expectations of what it must be like to pitch off a ridge and go for it with all the gusto needed to succeed. The Utah selections were shot by photographers of considerable repute within the state: Will Wissman, Adam Clark, Adam Barker and Matt Jesperson."
