Delirium Dives

"A snowflake is the most beautiful form of water"

That is one of the observations of a lifelong skier who:

• Discovered a skiing paradise in the Canadian Rockies
• Experienced a few hard lessons in a snow school
• Survived his first descent of a double black diamond
• Skied with Olympic champion Nancy Greene
• Tried to ski the same track as World Cup racers
• Let his mind win over matter when he broke his ribs skiing
• Became a professional ski instructor at the age when most people retire from their jobs
• Spent a season teaching at the local ski hill
• Tells about it all in this entertaining book, a blend of travel, sport and memoir, written with gusto, humour, and love of skiing.
