Description
Veteran ski journalist Patrick Thorne has unearthed the incredible stories behind 50 unique runs, from the utterly unmissable to the totally unexpected. Discover the two different Alpine ski areas which claim to be Hannibal's route through the mountains with his elephants; the debate over which is the world's steepest slope; how smugglers have used ski runs to escape customs patrols; and why hundreds of skiers dress as witches at Belalp in Switzerland every year.
