If you love the mountain lifestyle and pure skiing,then this is the book is for you. Experience the the life of the first woman extreme skier. Delores tells tales of deep powder stashes and getting "rooster tails" in Colorado, Utah and Switzerland. A must for any avid skier who enjoys reading. Delores shares life experiences and wisdom.

If you have tried skiing and find it difficult then, read this book. As you read, you actually feel as if you are there and are experiencing the thrills which you encounter on the slopes. Skiing is only difficult when you are trying to distinguish yourself from the mountain. When you harmonise with nature and respect where you are your confidence will grow as with your ability to conquer the steepest of slopes. Fabulous, thank you Delores.

This is an absolutely beautiful piece of work. Dolores LaChapelle articulates the power and grace of the powder skiing experience with the harmony of environmental acceptance. Her book is an absolute must for any liquid sport enthusiast who has experienced the psychological state of "flow". This book will change your life!

I can't believe I had to pay $48.00 for a tiny little paperback which is clearly marked $6.95! Really?! This is a gift for my husband, whom I am sure will love it, but the cost of this little thing is absolutely ridiculous.
