Summary

The Fever - it's the obsessive, irresistible desire to ski that cannot be ignored, denied or rationalized. It's the challenge of the steeps and deeps, the exhilaration of the powder blasts, the breath-taking drama of heli-skiing, and the adventure and beauty of skiing in the backcountry. It's what makes the sport of skiing so compelling, an addictive pastime, a lifelong activity - a lifestyle - even if lived only a few days or a weeks a year.
SkiFever! - Warren Miller's first large-format visual book - is a collection of action-packed stories from the finest ski writers and spectacular photography from the foremost ski photographers. It celebrates the rush, the beauty, and the grace of the sport, as well as its history and the unsurpassed pleasure of enduring, even flaunting, danger in stretching one's skiing abilities to the utmost.
