Around a century after the first skiers strapped wooden boards to their feet and started sliding down mountains, skiing has become a popular pastime across the globe. Author Patrick Thorne, aka 'The Snow Hunter,' draws on four decades of year-round research and writing about ski vacations, as well as visiting countless ski destinations across the US, to share with you the ultimate list of 'must ski' trips and adventures. Throughout this book, Patrick celebrates both the charming, family-run ski areas alongside the world-renowned skiing destinations, curating an entertaining array of bucket list goals that both causal skiers and die-hard powder hounds can achieve, including: Visiting an ice hotel; Skiing the steepest ski runs in America; Riding the world's highest ski lift; Wearing a retro ski suit; Night skiing under the Northern Lights; Trying heli-skiing; And so much more! The Skiing Bucket List celebrates the thrill and passion of ski culture and ensures that even though the ski season may only last for a few winter months, the wonderful world of snow sports is available on your bookshelf year-round.
