A reminder that I'll be doing a presentation for my book, Written in the Snows, for the Washington Ski Touring Club this Thursday, Dec 2, 7pm at the Puget Sound Yacht Club, 2321 N Northlake Way, in Seattle. This is the last *live* Seattle-area presentation on my schedule, currently. (No reason we can't do more, but none scheduled yet...)

I'll be doing a presentation of my book, Written in the Snows, for the Wenatchee River Institute at 7pm, Wednesday, Dec 15, at 335 Division Street in Leavenworth, WA. A Book for All Seasons will be at the event selling my book, and I'll be happy to sign copies. The indoor venue will be well ventilated, so it's suggested that folks dress warmly.

My book, Written in the Snows, has been selected by the International Skiing History Association (ISHA) for a 2022 Skade Award, presented annually for outstanding works in regional skiing history. My wife and I are looking forward to visiting Sun Valley in March for ISHA's Skiing History Week awards event. Celebratory photo: Carpenters Paul Borell, L. E. Thorsett and John Collins of Enumclaw get the honor of the first ride up the Miner's Basin lift (Chair 1) at Crystal Mountain in 1962.

Next week I'll be traveling to Oregon for two presentations of my book, Written in the Snows, at Hood River (with the Hood River Crag Rats) on January 10, and Bend (with the Meissner and Central Oregon Nordic Clubs) on January 14. I believe both events are "full" at this point to limit the group size. If a group in your community would be interested in a presentation, let me know and I can connect you with the Mountaineers Books publicist.

On Saturday, November 4, 2023, I'll be doing a presentation of my book, Written in the Snows, at the Bend Snow and Avalanche Workshop in Oregon.
Information and registration for the workshop can be found here:
www.coavalanche.org/event/2023/bend-snow-avalanche-workshop-2/
Note to admins: I've tried to include a photo with this post but have not been able to do so. I specify an attachment, click to "Insert," and nothing happens. I've been successful in the past, but I don't remember the mechanism I used before.
Another note: I see that my photo is attached to this post, but it's tiny and you have to click to enlarge it. That wasn't necessary in the past, as I recall.
