Schniebs, Otto Eugen. American Skiing. First Edition. 1939. Book is in very good condition; dust jacket is in very good minus condition—endpapers show discoloration, previous owner's name is neatly written on flyleaf; and jacket shows minor chip to the lower spine and mild discoloration.
Note the year this book was published: 1939. The onset of World War II in Europe was about to make the Alps off limits, which catapulted interest in North American ski resorts to a much higher elevation. This image-filled book instructs on the American skiing technique and reviews ski resorts in the United States.
“In a deep blue sky the golden rays of the sun peeped from behind [the] clouds, creating deep shadows, the whole a picture of beauty and peace. It gave one a sense of life, and in the deepest meaning, religion.”
--Otto Eugen Schniebs
