Michael Bird Shaffer IS the authentic soul spreading the love of flight and Free skiing to all.\n\nAs a skier\, climber\, writer\, and photographer\, Lowell Skoog has been a keen observer of Northwest mou ntaineering since the 1970s. He is the creator of the Alpenglow Gallery an d founder of the Northwest Mountaineering Journal\, websites that celebrat e local mountain culture\, and he was a key member of the team that launch ed the Washington State Ski and Snowboard Museum. Skoog is the chairman of the Mountaineers History and Library committee. He lives in Seattle.\n\nS koog shares a definitive and visually rich history of the past century of Northwest ski culture\, from stirring and colorful stories of wilderness e xploration to the evolution of gear and technique. He traces the developme nt of skiing in Washington from the late 1800s to the present\, covering t he beginning of ski resorts and competitions\, the importance of wild plac es in the Cascades and Olympic mountains\, and the friluftsliv\, or open-a ir living spirit\, of backcountry skiing. Skoog addresses how skiing has b een shaped by larger social trends\, including immigration\, the Great Dep ression\, war\, economic growth\, conservation\, and the media. In turn\, Northwest skiers have affected their regions in ways that have transcended the sport\, producing local legends like Milnor Roberts\, Olga Bolstad\, Hans Otto Giese\, Bill Maxwell\, and more. While weaving his own impressio ns and experiences into the larger history\, Skoog shows that skiing is fa r more than mere sport or recreation.
