Deep: The Story of Skiing and the Future of Snow by Fox, Porter. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780989973205.

As skiers (and snowboarders), we live and die by the vagaries of climate. We spend time reading long-range forecasts, ogling radar, and planning dream trips to legendary spots, all in search of snow. Through all that, we rarely ask ourselves "What if it werent there" Thats just one of the questions tackled by Porter Fox in DEEP: The Story of Skiing and the Future of Snow. An essential read for snow-lovers and climate-conscious folk alike, it details the origins of skiing, the sports development, and the changing climate thats threatening our winters. By interviewing skiers, mountaineers, and climate scientists, Fox paints a picture of a problem thats far larger and more serious than the decline of a sport, but doesnt fall victim to doom-and-gloomby acknowledging problems, confronting realities, and working towards solutions, weve got a chance to turn things around before the snows gone for good.
