Jackson Hole (cl)

Jackson Hole features the greatest vertical drop of any ski resort in the United States, and has extremely varied terrain. Gonzales tells the whole story, past and present, of this daunting but irresistible mountain. He covers the geography, geology, and history of the area, and devotes a full chapter to its development by pioneer Paul McCollister.

At the bottom of the aerial tram there's a sign that says, "This mountain is like nothing you've ever skied before. "Jackson Hole: On a Grand Scale" is like nothing you've ever read before, a book that captures America's wildest, most untamed ski resort in all its glory.
