twinski publications

There was never anyone like the Wurtele twins in Alpine skiing: identical in looks, different in attitude, unbeatable on the slopes.  Now, with author Byron Rempel's unprecedented access to all Rhona and Rhoda Wurtele's memorabilia and scrapbooks, this entertaining book reveals the full story of "Canada's Terrific Twins".

From their pioneering steps in women's sports to their heli-skiing exploits at the age of 84 and continued activities well into their 90s, Rempel takes an affectionate yet unflinching look at these two lives filled with daring, disappointment and triumph - and reveals the struggle for recognition that women in sport have always fought, from antiquity to this day.  

No Limits goes beyond the normal parameters of a sports biography to not only tell the individual stories of the tiwns, but with parallel stories of Canadian women and women in sports in the 20th century, puts them in an historical context as well.
