The Snow Sport Century: Speed, Style, and the Mountain Age is a broad, fact-based history of the winter sports that transformed mountains into arenas, resorts, industries, and cultural landmarks.

It covers the growth of famous resorts, the drama of downhill racing, the influence of ski schools and lift systems, the arrival of snowboarding, the rise of freestyle and big-mountain riding, the role of fashion and media, and the safety and climate challenges facing the snow world today.
