Customer Review: GOOD RELAXING, FUN READING
VERY GOOD RELAXING READING. FUN TO READ ABOUT WARREN MILLER'S YOUNGER DAYS. NEED MORE "WOMEN" SIDE OF STORY IN THE BOOK, THOUGH.
I ENJOYED IT VERY MUCH. MUST READ LIST FOR YOU, SKIER AND WHO LOVE TO DO WHAT HE LIKES TO DO.....
Customer Review: And they say snowboarders are a bad element...
Warren Miller, in his youth, is here shown to have been a criminal genius. Poaching, trespassing, littering, sneaking onto chairlifts, and running over prize hens. And let's not go into how they thawed out their car engine. I found my old grandfather's first edition copy of this seminal text by consummate ski bum Warren Miller. I give it six stars, reduced to five, because this book is entirely too short. It's hilarious, packed cover-to-cover with Miller's dry, matter-of-fact storytelling. If you've seen enough of his films, you can even read the whole thing in Warren's voice. If you fancy yourself a ski bum, read this and learn just how far you have to go in enduring privations before you'll stack up against Warren Miller.
