Author Information

Lito Tejada-Flores was born at 13,000 feet in the Bolivian Andes and since has spent much of his life in high places. He has shared his passion for mountain adventure in a series of books, on wilderness skiing, kayaking and downhill skiing, and in documentary films. His instructional ski books and videos are well known. But he has also written books on backcountry ski touring and whitewater kayaking. And his documentary film on the ascent of Mount Fitz Roy won the Grand Prize at the International Mountain and Exploration Film Fetival in Trento Italy. A dedicated, passionate ski instructor for over 30 years, Lito is a mountain-sports and travel writer by profession, a poet by avocation, a graphic designer, web designer, photo editor and documentary filmmaker for the hell of it, and a publisher quite by accident. He has collaborated with his wife and partner, landscape photographer Linde Waidhofer, in designing and publishing a series of award-winning books of landscape photography under their Western Eye imprint like the book, This is Skiing, The Impossible Romance of Sliding over Snow. Today, Lito and Linde spend part of each year in Patagonia and the other part in the Colorado Rockies. Among Lito's most memorable adventures-first ascents on Mount Fitz Roy in Patagonia and the Devil's Thumb in Alaska...and falling in love with Linde Waidhofer.
