 Scott Jurek is one of the world's best known and most beloved ultrarunners. Renowned for his remarkable endurance and speed, accomplished on a vegan diet, he's finished first in nearly all of ultrarunning's elite events over the course of his career. But after two decades of racing, training, speaking, and touring, Jurek felt an urgent need to discover something new about himself. He embarked on a wholly unique challenge, one that would force him to grow as a person and as an athlete: breaking the speed record for the Appalachian Trail.

In April 1992 a young man from a well-to-do family hitchhiked to Alaska and walked alone into the wilderness north of Mt. McKinley. His name was Christopher Johnson McCandless. He had given $25,000 in savings to charity, abandoned his car and most of his possessions, burned all the cash in his wallet, and invented a new life for himself.

In 2001 Mo Gawdat realized that despite his incredible success, he was desperately unhappy. A lifelong learner, he attacked the problem as an engineer would: examining all the provable facts and scrupulously applying logic. Eventually, his countless hours of research and science proved successful, and he discovered the equation for permanent happiness. Thirteen years later, Mo's algorithm would be put to the ultimate test. After the sudden death of his son, Ali, Mo and his family turned to his equation—and it saved them from despair.

Publisher's Summary

Ever had a private ski lesson? Remember how useful it was to talk with the instructor while riding up the chair lift? Imagine two hours of great conversation just like that with a triple-certified PSIA ski instructor produced in an easy-to-listen radio talk-show style. This program covers all the aspects of contemporary ski instruction and technique. It has great tips for all levels of skiers, but focuses primarily on intermediate to advanced concepts. Pump up your inner skier while you're heading for the hills. Topics include: modern day fundamentals of ski technique, analyzing the parallel turn, adapting for varying conditions, adapting for terrain, skiing powder, skiing moguls, and much more.

Fantastic Information, So much fun to listen to

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I love this audio book because it has so many tips for skiing in various conditions. There are many safety tips as well as strategies depending on the snow conditions.

What did you like best about this story?

What I liked best was the content and the pace. It was not rushed, but not too slow. Just right. The content helped me change the way I ski to get more enjoyment. I would absolutely recommend this to a friend or anyone who wishes to have more fun skiing and less time crashing!

Which character – as performed by Mark Herlinger and Bryan Olson – was your favorite?

Mark was the perfect host, but Bryan stole the show with his expert tips and good conversation. This was a well made audio book, and I listen to it many times since purchase.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, if you have some time. I actually play this book while driving on the way to skiing. That way the techniques mentioned are fresh in my mind for whatever condition I might run into.

Any additional comments?

We are always learning and this audio book offers so much advice you must listen to it multiple times. I love this audio book.

Only Skiing Podcast I Saw

I'm a fan of long-form conversation, but I thought this over-focused on "unlearning" what the host was taught years ago. Wanted more tips & techniques, specifics on foot & body movements.
