This edited volume offers an historical perspective on the creation
of a global mass industry around skiing. By focusing on the ski
resort as loci par excellence for global exchange, the contributors
consider the development of skiing around the world during the
crucial post-war years. With its global lens, Leisure Cultures and
the Making of Modern Ski Resorts highlights both commonalities and
differences between countries. Experts across various fields of
research cover developments across the ski-able world, from Europe,
Asia and America to Australia. Attention to media and material
cultures reveals an insight into global fashions, consumption and
ski cultures, and the impact of mainstream media in the 1960s and
1970s. This global and interdisciplinary approach will appeal to
history, sociology, cultural and media research scholars interested
in a cultural history of skiing, as well as those with more broad
interests in globalization, consumption research, and knowledge
transfer.
