This book will appeal to people that know and love Alta, Utah or are interested in the history of skiing in the Western US. It primarily chronicles the life of Alf Engen, and therefore, chronicles the history of Alta and and an important part of skiing in the west. Engen was the inventor of modern powder skiing and richly deserves the honor of this book.
