The story of the snowboarder Craig Kelly and his death in the 2003 Durrand Glacier Avalanche â a tragedy that claimed the lives of seven people.
What The Reviewers Say
The most unremittingly exciting book of nonfiction I have come across in years.
Mr. Blehm’s description of Kelly’s meticulous training under Mr. Beglinger, and his minute-by-minute account of the fateful day leading up to Kelly’s demise, make this book as riveting as any thriller..
Blehm recounts in gripping detail the terrifying disaster, the desperate rescue efforts, and the ensuing investigations into the cause..
A stirring tribute to a talent gone too soon..
