Everything I know, I learned from skiing powder.-- Dolores LaChapelle, the godmother of powder skiing
Deep Powder Snow, originally published in 1993, is an autobiographical account of how Dolores LaChapelle's experiences powder skiing gave her a path to cultural resistance. More than a memoir of one woman's love for the sport, this philosophical exploration of skiing and the relationship between humanity and nature became a cult classic for mountain recreationists around the world who connected deeply with her worldview.
LaChapelle's words still give voice to why skiing and other outdoor recreation feel like so much more than a pastime to so many. In this reprint of the classic text, ski journalist and historian Clare George offers a new generation of readers the opportunity to engage with LaChappelle, adding a foreword with critical contextualization of the book's significance and impact.
Deep Powder Snow is more relevant than ever. In the age of rapid climate change and the ever-more-jarring effects of the Anthropocene, this memoir advocates for a different way of thinking about our place in the world and of skiing as not merely a hobby but the foundation of a good life.
