In this unique book, part eulogy, part history, part travelogue,
Charlie English goes in search of the best snow on the planet.
Along the way he explains the extraordinary hold this commonplace
phenomenon has over us, and reveals the ongoing drama of our
relationship with it. Combining on-the-slopes experience with
off-piste research, Charlie English's journey begins with the
magical moment when his two-year-old son sees snow for the first
time, before setting off in the footsteps of the Romantic poets
over the Alps, following the sled-tracks of the Inuit across
Greenland, and meeting up with a flurry of fellow enthusiasts, from
snow-making scientists in Japan and global warming experts in
California to plough drivers in Alaska.This is a book for anyone
who reaches for their mittens at the sight of the first flake.
