Magic Yosemite Winters: A Century of Winter Sports

Author and historian Rose chronicles the story of winter in Yosemite. He has interviewed the descendants of pioneers who lived in the Valley and legions of skiers who first discovered the joys of the sport in the park, from the earliest residents' sledding fun on Ash Can Alley to Leroy Rust's race team and Nic Fiores' 50 years of teaching skiers. Generously illustrated, mostly in b&w. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
