E. JOHN B. ALLEN is professor emeritus of history at Plymouth State University and author of The Culture and Sport of Skiing: From Antiquity to World War II.
"There's such a depth of information in these pages that manages to keep skiers connected to their past. Allen delivers context to the historical factors and people that are found on trail maps across the region. There is a satisfaction in understanding what helped build the slopes we ski today."--Eric Wilbur, coauthor of Thirty Years in a White Haze: Dan Egan's Story of Worldwide Adventure and the Evolution of Extreme Skiing "The stories Allen tells cover a lot of early ski history that is not well known to the skiing public today. With different chapters covering different regions, this book will appeal to a wide readership."--Jeremy K. Davis, author of Lost Ski Areas of the Berkshires and founder of the New England Lost Ski Areas Project
