This is the definitive history of the sport that has exhilarated and infatuated about 30 million Americans and Canadians over the course of the last fifty years. Consummate insider John Fry chronicles the rise of a ski culture and every aspect of the sport's development, including the emergence of the mega-resort and advances in equipment, technique, instruction, and competition. The Story of Modern Skiing is laced with revelations from the author's personal relationships with skiing greats such as triple Olympic gold medalists Toni Sailer and Jean-Claude Killy, double gold medalist and environmental champion Andrea Mead Lawrence, first women's World Cup winner Nancy Greene, World Alpine champion Billy Kidd, Sarajevo gold and silver medalists Phil and Steve Mahre, and industry pioneers such as Vail founder Pete Seibert, metal ski designer Howard Head, and plastic boot inventor Bob Lange. Fry writes authoritatively of alpine skiing in North America and Europe, of Nordic skiing, and of newer variations in the sport: freestyle skiing, snowboarding, and extreme skiing. He looks closely at skiing's relationship to the environment, its portrayal in the media, and its response to social and economic change. Maps locating major resorts, records of ski champions, and a timeline, bibliography, glossary, and index of names and places make this the definitive work on modern skiing. Skiers of all ages and abilities will revel in this lively tale of their sport's heritage.

THE DAY SNOW TURNED BLACK This book is about African Americans in skiing and the evolution of the National Brotherhood of Skiers (NBS). It includes interesting stories told by the individuals who helped to make the NBS what it is today. The memories, history, and the essence of the organization have been captured for over 35 years. This presentation will take you back in time when black Americans were not a part of organized skiing – a time before the NBS. It describes how the NBS Black Summit became the largest ski convention in the country. The NBS story is made viable by the programs that have been an integral part of its operation such as the youth ski scholarship program*, youth and adult racing, gospel fest worship services, safety program, recognitions and awards, and annual meetings. Memorable and not so memorable evening parties, happy hours, fun races and picnics in the snow are described. There were power struggles, winners and losers, romantics, antics and addicts working together that stimulated this evolution. *50 % of the profits from this book will be donated to the NBS Olympic Scholarship Fund.

Where did you come from? How did you get here? These questions came from people who had not seen black skiers before. Black people cant endure cold temperatures, is a myth that has been held by Caucasians and some black people. Black skiers enjoy gliding, sliding and riding on the cold and snowy mountains. The myths that black people dont ski and that black people are too lazy to learn will be dispelled. There are countless stories of their experiences on the snowy mountains, their volunteer services, networking, finding love, and the friendships over the years.
