Hey you skier-bookworms,
The Next 15 Minutes is a poignant and honest book by Kim Kircher, a snow patroller at Crystal Mountain, WA. She writes about her experiences in her patrol work and her husband's grave struggle with liver disease. Kim's courage and gutsiness at laying her life and emotions bare to readers were amazing. Her descriptions of patroller work made me do an internal shiver with how gnarly it sounded but also how exciting it must be. Not a light-hearted book, but interesting and well-written (never mind the typos in the text). I highly recommend it, 5 out of 5 stars for me.
