Tells the story of how skiing moved from Europe's Scandinavian periphery to the mountains of central Europe, where it came to define the modern Alps and set the standard for skiing across the world. This book aims to explore intersections between work, tourism, leisure, development, environmental destruction, urbanism, and more.
