Written in the Snows: An Evening with Lowell Skoog, Alpine Ski Historian

NOTE: Registration for this event cuts off at 3:30pm PST, April 1st. You can still register directly for the event on ZOOM.

On April 1st, 7pm, join Lowell Skoog, a renowned local mountain historian, for an intimate conversation with author Malcolm Bates about the rich history of the past century of Northwest ski culture. Lowell is the author of an upcoming Mountaineers Book, Written in the Snows: Across Time on Skis in the Northwest, a stirring love letter to Washington’s vibrant ski history--as well as a look at its present and future direction. Skoog shows that skiing is far more than mere sport or recreation through colorful storytelling of immigration, war, and wilderness exploration in addition to the evolution of gear and technique. 

Get inspired by our own living legend Lowell Skoog and learn how you can be a part of the story, and help bring his book Written in the Snows: Across Time on Skis in the Northwest, to life. 

This event is co-hosted by Mountaineers Books, The Mountaineers and Northwest Avalanche Center.
