Pack up your skis or snowboard, fly out, and strap on, because you're about to take a trip to the most amazing slopes the world has ever seen!

Based on interviews with leading experts, Fifty Places to Ski and Snowboard Before You Die chronicles the rich history of these sports and the people who have mastered them, including Tommy Moe, Jonny Moseley, Billy Kidd, and Greg Harms. With words and color photography, it takes you to all the fabulous mountains you've visited--and those you have always wanted to visit.

Above all, author Chris Santella provides readers with the gorgeous scenery, the glamorous ambiance, and the always-thrilling experience of visiting mountains from the Alps to the Rockies, whether it's aprs-ski in Cortina or helicopter rides into virgin Alaskan powder.

Fly up to the mountains and explore the world's most inspiring skiing and snowboarding destinations:

  • Chugach Mountains (Alaska)

  • Tuckerman Ravine (New Hampshire)
  • Rusutsu (Japan)
  • Chamonix (France)

  • Mammoth Mountain and Squaw Valley (California)
  • Kashmir (India)
  • Taos (New Mexico)
  • Jay Peak, Mad River Glen, Stowe (Vermont)
  • Jackson Hole (Wyoming)
  • And more!

"Quirky nuggets, insider tips, and historical perspectives." --Reuters
"Whether you're an expert looking to hit the double diamond moguls or a beginner who wants a gentle slope just in case stopping is an issue, these spots have a little something for everyone." --The Daily Beast
