Snow Crazy: A Hundred Years of Stories of Derring-Do From the Ski Club of Great Britain

On May 6th, 1903, ten men sat down to dinner at the Cafe Royal in London and started a ski club. It would become the most famous in the world—the Ski Club of Great Britain. In those days, to the British, skiing was little more than a slightly odd sport practiced by English eccentrics. Over the years, the Ski Club published an almanac, which became a document of fascinating, amusing, and downright weird anecdotes of the Brits on the slopes, as the sport went from being a minority diversion to the worldwide obsession it is today. Snow Crazy is a collection of these anecdotes—a companion for the millions of ski addicts across the world.
