With words and color photography, it takes you to all the fabulous mountains you’ve visited—and those you have always wanted to visit. Above all, author Chris Santella provides readers with the gorgeous scenery, the glamorous ambiance, and the always-thrilling experience of visiting mountains from the Alps to the Rockies, whether it’s après-ski in Cortina or helicopter rides into virgin Alaskan powder.
