Recommended reading for skiers: The Edge of Never
Posted 12 months ago by Pete Wagner
The Edge of Never is a nonfiction book about a young skier, Kye Petersen, who travels to Chamonix to ski the run that killed his respected, big-mountain skiing father, Trevor Petersen. The story is about an older guard of skiers (including Glen Plake and Mike Hattrup) sharing their love and respect for the mountains with a younger skier.
I believe that skiing is an incredible way to share meaningful time, conversation, and experiences with friends and family. Ultimately, The Edge of Never highlights the selflessness, loyalty of family, tradition, and respect that grows the community and culture of skiing.
Bill Kerig did an excellent job with this book. It flows well and is a fast read. The book will make you contemplate and get psyched for the upcoming season, an upcoming trip, and/or your next day of skiing.
