Product Description
Product Description
Return to the early days of skiing in the West, when movie stars shared lifts with the first "extreme" skiers. Atkeson's photos and Miller's essay are fascinating.
About the Author
Ray Atkeson became a legend in his lifetime, taking tens of thousand of spectacular outdoor photographs. He became especially well-known for his stunning black & white images of the ski and snow country in the Western states. He was named Photographer Laureate of Oregon in 1976. Ray passed away in 1990 at the age of 83.
Miller, during his 50 year career, has shot, produced, edited and narrated over 500 films on skiing. He has also written scores of newspaper and magazine columns and four books. He splits his time between Montana's Yellowstone Club ski resort and San Juan Islands of Puget Sound.

Photographic history of the early days of skiing in the West,

This review is from: Ski & Snow Country: The Golden Years of Skiing in the West, 1930s-1950s (Hardcover)
Ray Atkeson was the premier skiing photographer in the 30's - 50's. Through his beautiful photographs you'll enjoy seeing the early days of skiing in the Pacific Northwest, Utah, Colorado and California. It's remarkable not only for the photographs, but for the camera equipment Ray had to use to capture these scenes. See the ski areas, equipment and clothing from this early area. This is a terrific coffee table pictorial of a bygone skiing days.

This review is from: Ski & Snow Country: The Golden Years of Skiing in the West, 1930s-1950s (Hardcover)
First saw this book in the Denver, CO airport. What a great book. If you like skiing you will enjoy the photos in this book - particularly if you frequent any of the resorts featured in the photos (most of which are in the western US - WA, CO, UT, CA). Like most any ski related item associated with Warren Miller - awesome!
