The book is currently available and dives into the history of the winter sport in the Land of Enchantment...New Mexico's ski history is among the oldest in the American West, when prospectors in the late-1800s and early 1900s were trying out their long boards...[The author] says many people are surprised there is any skiing in the state, but the southernmost range of the Rocky Mountains, the Sangre de Cristos, bisects northern New Mexico, with several peaks topping out at more than 13,000 feet in elevation. Taos Ski Valley's Kachina Peak chair climbs to 12,450 feet, and Ski Santa Fe's parking lot sits at 10,350 feet, to name a few. Albuquerque Journal - Adrian Gomez, Albuquerque Journal This is a fascinating history of skiing in the Land of Enchantment. It takes the reader to the late 1800s and early 1900s when prospectors tried out long boards on powdery snow. --David Steinberg, Albuquerque Journal
