Speed Skiing in the Sixties . . .
a new book by Dick Dorworth
The Straight Course offers us an insider's look at some little known, and incredibly exciting pages of ski history. But it's a lot more than just a retelling of the skiing feats of an earlier generation. This book is an intensely personal exploration of how and why a skier, and maybe anyone, can put themselves on the line, make commitments and keep them, balance fear and fearlessness, and ultimately explore skiing as a metaphor for life. A good read, and a genuine adventure.
