It was Klaus Obermeyer, Aspen's original innovator of down parkas, sunscreen, alpine joie de vivre and beautiful women in snow-set scenes who said,
"Every day that you don't ski, you never get back again."
A short engaging first novel, one part ski history, one part travelogue, and one part stream of consciousness. I am re-reading it to get in the winter mindset ... dawn patrol, skinning up Whiteface tomorrow.
