- Summary:
- "Skier and debut author Ayja Bounous explores threats to the winters and watershed in the face of climate change and the far-reaching impacts of a diminishing snowpack on the American West--not only from ecological and economic perspectives, but also in regard to emotional and psychological health, as she realizes how deeply her personal relationships are tied to the snow-covered mountains of Utah's Wasatch range."--provided by publisher.
