“My Life in Winters” - About 200 pages of fun read

[Ursula]

Mike Ewing, an extraordinary ski instructor and mentor, wrote his book: My Life in Winters. (He gave me permission to add a couple of pictures.) A lot of skiing history is packed into 30 chapters. In Chapter 26 you will find a nice write-up about our @Skisailor, Laura Herr.

You can find the book online for purchase.


Have fun reading and getting into the mood for the upcoming ski season.

Love to read that....I remember skiing with SkiSailor at Sugarloaf. She was looking for tips even then. Paper tiger and I gave her some. Think it was speiss at the time as we were looking for separation. I hate speiss!!

Laura lives on in a lot of hearts. She made so many friends throughout her life. Hugs to all of you ladies!

Got my copy in the mail yesterday. Great reading!

Early on there is a picture of @Ursula pinning on the 50-year PSIA pin for Mike. He's still teaching at Big Sky and aiming for a 60-year pin in 2024-25.

She was, truly. I'll be buying this book.

Update: I got the book, My Life in Winters.

It's organized chronologically, and I'm still in the early 1960s, but it's a really fun read. Thanks for the recommendation, @Ursula -- please pass on my thanks to Mike Ewing for writing it!
