Description
Uncovering the incredible stories behind the world's most iconic and unusual ski runs.
They're places skiers will love.
Around the World in 50 Slopes is an intercontinental romp through a galaxy of ski trivia, in which the various runs are included not only because of the quality of skiing they offer, but also because of the stories they have to tell.
Whether you've ever skied or never been near a chairlift or the piste, there is gold in these pages and Patrick is a master of the quirky, the weird and downright surreal.
