Om denne bog

A jarringly honest and rip-roaringly entertaining narrative memoir of time spent in the Alps in the mid-2000s on a quest to become a sponsored freestyle skier.

The author provides an incriminatingly candid account of the absurd, debauched, yet beautifully utopian world of the ski season in this highly relatable coming-of-age story.

Key features:

  • The Trainspotting and Kids of winter sports literature, it''s a highly entertaining de-glamorisation of the journey most snow sports athletes have to take
  • Off the hill, TSSS is way out of his social depth in the company of spoilt rich kids, despotic managers, wild Swedish party girls, French do-gooders and middle-aged drifters
  • ''Ski bums'' are often treated with contempt and ridiculed; TSSS provides substance to a plethora of these bums
  • Captures the day-to-day domesticity of winter seasons alongside the euphoria of blasting around the mountains with reckless abandon
  • Gives voice to those underappreciated seasonal workers who work tremendously long and hard hours for almost zero pay – TSSS reveals the exploitation of many thousands of Brits back in the 2000s

Ski seasons are the greatest sociological experiment left unstudied ... until now! This powerful memoir lifts the lid on the secrets you could barely have imagined about the elitist world of skiing and the lives of seasonaires.
