Awesome read !
While reading this book, I would often lie awake for hours and simply stare into space and dream of the vivid landscapes the author describes so beautifully. From the arctic circle in Norway, to Japan, Canada, Europe and beyond, this book is about adventure and the search for snow. I think many of us who have spent time in the mountains can relate to the author's quest, so reading this book will revive these feelings from within, and re-install them in ones mind. This book inspired me to move back to the mountains and return to a lifestyle that I once new, and loved. The author's love of skiing is definite, and the book does a great job in relaying this love to the reader, sharing the many emotions and enjoyments one feels in search for powder. It goes beyond powder though, describing the many snow conditions one encounters in the different altitudes, seasons, countries, ect. Skiing culture is what the book is all about, and I would strongly recommend this book to anyone who has once felt part of this culture, or who would like to learn more about it.
