Not a ski book but Into thin air is a book about a disastrous everest mission. it's a real page turner one of the first real adult novels i read and it remains a favorite of mine still. readings the best, once you invest some time into it you don't necessarily need to relate to the setting or whether the book revolves around an interest of yours it becomes a lot deeper.

Why does it have to be about skiing?

Just pick up a fuckin book. Your mom shouldn't have to force you to read.

Crazy for the storm by Norman Ollestad. It's about a surfer and a skier and it's a crazy (true) story of survival.

"book interests"

My bad.


OP, how old are you? I'll try to recommend you some good reading that may or may not have anything to do with skiing.

Broaden your horizons, it's a big fuckin world.

Neither of these books have the slightest thing to do w/ skiing but in the process of reading two books right now and am really enjoying them, the great gatsby by scott fitzgerald which I'm reading for english class and The Art of Happiness by the Dalai Lama, they're both really interesting and I'd highly suggest reading either of them or even better both.

Hi everyone!
I'm working on a project about new school and generally freestyle skiing in my university. There is barely any literature on this topic in a space of nearby countries, so I ask for help here. If anybody can provide me with any specific literature on the topic of freestyle skiing, new school skiing, snowpark building etc., please share it here or contact me on FB.
And please don't send me to any websites with skiing info. I really need books for those topics.
Thanks!
