Why read it?
1 author picked Vintage Skiing as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Ray Atkeson was one of the premiere ski photographers of the early days of skiing, although he continued to produce photos from the 1920s all the way into the 1990s. His photos were primarily in black and white and can easily be compared to the brilliant nature photography of Ansel Adams. My mother, herself a ski pioneer, who became the first female to certify as an instructor in California, modeled for Atkeson in the 1940s. This book is a compilation of some of the finest ski photos ever put together.
From Jimmy's list on The best books about skiing from the man who has skied the most countries—75.
