Snowbird Secrets: A Guide to Big Mtn. Skiing
now available for $9.99
"This new book by acclaimed ski author Jackson Hogen and 'Snowbird Guru' Dave Powers is 
unique. One could argue that the title is coyly misleading. The "Secrets" are secret to elite skiers only in that they have not before been so clearly articulated and, although this remarkable book centers on Snowbird, it reveals far more than mere tactical approaches to that iconic big mountain playground.

Controlled Fall: Collected Ski Stories $9.99
Controlled Fall is perhaps the most curious compendium of ski tales ever assembled. That they are the product of one brief career in 
ski “journalism” is perhaps frightening. The pieces assembled here—some slightly used by prior appearances in the pages of SKI and Skiing Heritage, some sparkling new—are categorized under such headings as Why We Ski, Thoughts about Equipment, and The Greg Stump Songbook. The selections range in style from brief meditations to howling yarns and include 24 unpublished lyrics and 7 recipes of cloudy provenance.
If you were raised properly, you know better than to mention price, so any of you who were raised properly may skip the remainder of this paragraph. The rest of you – I note you’re all still here – please read on. Unless you find a way to steal it, Controlled Fall will run you a mere $9.99.
