Description

In this revised and updated edition, readers will discover a celebration of skiing in literature, from ancient Nordic legend to the modern mountain. To Heaven’s Heights brings together stories of childhood, adventure, racing, exploration, war, folklore and friendship, showing how skiing has evolved from a means of survival and transport into one of the world’s great winter sports and pleasures. Proceeds support the youth charity Snow-Camp, which has been helping young people experience snowsports and the mountains since 2003.
