Ski Southeast Messageboard

Something to pass the summer by. Post a comment if you've read anything on this list....

10 Books

If you haven't already read it, find a copy of Southern Snow. Been out of print for a while but copies are out there

Squallywood for sure! Book never gets old, I picked it up as a teen skiing at Squal Vally, have read it over 20x through the years. Great little book and has the GNAR rules in the back too.

Proud owner of squallywood and freedom found

My son and I play a watered down version of GNAR but weve done plenty of ego claims, fart claims, callouts (to kids older than him) and a couple of call your moms and pole whacks. Next yr we plan on getting in a cook brekkie as well.

Of course this probably makes us look like jerks to the majority of people he does call outs to but one day someone will understand and find it hilarious:)

Books indeed, some good suggestions, and reading! there's a thing

I have Southern Snow, a great resource for our area. Most of my other books are things like Tremper and stuff on avalanche sense and backcountry skills. As If I can learn that from a book, but no more absurd than thinking your technique may be improved by careful study; and millions of words in thousands of articles have swirled down that rabbit hole.

The best thing about the books on that list is how many remind us of the freedom and extraordinary fun of skiing

I'm a few chapters into "White Planet". Very much about freedom & fun across the decades with some history nicely blended in.... and the author's style parallels yours.
