Lost Ski Areas of Colorado's Central and Southern Mountains is very cool. Can't add links for some reason..

In Search of Powder: A Story of America's Disappearing Ski Bum is one that I havent read but I heard good things about so I ordered it.

I thought this book about Doug Coombs is awesome. From Tuckermans to Jackson to Valdeez heli guiding in AK and big mountains in France, Doug is Legend!! Cool read too the Author attempts to ski all Doug's favorite lines. Check it out!
