Dick Dorworth is a skier's skier, a writer's writer. As a young man he pushed his limits on skis; he is still putting himself on the line in honest, telling, unsparing prose. This is a story of life and death at high speeds on snow, of world records and world-class skiers, of ambitions realized and frustrated, of fear and fearlessness at over 100 miles per hour. Dorworth takes us with him down the straight courses of his pursuit of pure speed. It is an exhilarating non-stop ride.
