At age twenty-four, Mike Sandy quit his job and moved from New York to Utah to ski at Snowbird under the guise of attending graduate school. A Skier's Journal tells the story of a regular guy exploring a mountain and finding the fleeting moments that make skiing special.
But so-called real life was eventually impossible to avoid. Student loans came due, free time dwindled, health and fitness eroded. Mike's story is also about navigating the stresses and demands of early adulthood and finding one's true self amid competing priorities.
A Skier's Journal delivers the bliss of floating through powder snow, the weak-kneed excitement of staring down forty-degree chutes, the pain of ski boots that don't fit, the struggle to get back on track, and the satisfaction of pursuing and realizing a dream.
