Description
Here is an authoritative portrait of a group of men and women taking mortal risks in a bid for sporting glory. A white-knuckled tour through skiing's deep traditions and least-accessible locales, The Fall Line opens up the sexy, high-stakes world of downhill skiing-its career-ending crashes, million-dollar sponsorship deals, international intrigue and showdowns with nature itself.
