About the Book 
Alice is a little girl with big dreams to ski down a beautiful mountain, like the skiers that she sees on TV. That dream becomes reality when her parents bring her on a ski trip to Vermont where she experiences the challenges, the joy, the adventure and the feeling of accomplishment when she gets to the bottom. 
Is the magic of snowflakes for real? Do they lift you up? Alice’s adventure to the ski mountain gives her the confidence to believe in the mystical magic of snowflakes and believe in herself with the encouragement of her ski instructor. 
Skiing is Believing is a story of adventure, magic and a realistic tale of a little girl learning how to ski. 
Read along and imagine the magical snowflakes falling, giving lift and inspiration to Alice as she experiences down the mountain! Confidence with care and making dreams come true is what this story hopes to inspire young children to achieve great things, all because they believe!\nAbout Nancy Peck Cook\nNancy’s favorite mantra is “Believe it and you can achieve it,” one that held her in good stead as early as six years old when she first learned to ski while growing up in Jericho and Georgia, Vermont.\nThis mantra continued throughout her childhood and adult life, adding basketball and field hockey to her repertoire in high school and college at Castleton State, where she started running and competing in triathlons. She started believing at a young age, and she will not stop!\nCurrently, Nancy has completed 4 Ironman distance triathlons, went to the World Championships for the Half Ironman and competed in 2 National USATF Championships in the Olympic distance.

Currently, she holds the American Record in her age group for the marathon on the indoor rower with a 2:59:52.\nShe continues to pursue her first love – skiing – as a 22-year PSIA-certified, Level 3 Alpine Ski Instructor, ambassador for REVO sunglasses and goggles, and a certified skateIA inline skating instructor.
