Women Editorial Review
Powder Days is Heather Hansman's ski memoir that dives into the culture and future of chasing snow. The book beautifully tells the story of skiing through the lens of the author's own skiing career. Hansman brings to light the light and beautiful parts of skiing while uncovering the dark and not-so-pleasant aspects of the sport. The book covers the struggles that skiers face while trying to plant their feet in a life that allows them to achieve their dreams and the balance they all seek yet only seem to find in that perfect moment in the bottom of a turn before needing to let go in order to keep moving. This book appeals to anyone who loves the sport and ski culture.
