Acknowledgments
What a deal! I get to ski at the best mountains in the world, meet
helpful and interesting guides at every turn, and I get to write a book
about it.
About the help: thanks to ace fact-checker and coupon corraler Joan
Manring Hull, researcher Laurie Hull, word wrangler Val Elmore, and
to Janice Keefe, who keeps my skis on the ground.
Thanks to my many helpful friends in the skiing industry.
At NTC/Contemporary Publishing, thanks to Editor Adam Miller and
Editorial Director Linda Gray for their good humor and patience, and
to Julia Anderson for her stewardship of the book production.
Finally, thanks to you, the reader, for buying this book. I hope you
find it as useful and fun to read as it was for me to write.
