Early Praise

DRAGONS IN THE SNOW

“Being caught in an avalanche is like “being strapped to the front of a locomotive,” writes Ed Power in this reverent and chilling look at one of our planet’s most alluring and deadly phenomena. His description of what it’s like to die buried in snow is worth the whole trip. To Power, the white stuff isn’t just a transient form of H2O, it’s a living thing gaining strength on our warming planet. “Dragons in the Snow” is rich, compelling reading, both a paeon to the natural world and a warning to those who love it.”

— Mark Bowden

“In "Dragons in the Snow," Ed Power has captured the beauty, the science, the romance and the perils of backcountry skiing and the passionate commitment of the men and women who analyze avalanches and educate skiers about the importance of preparation for traversing the mountainous slopes. Although I'm not a skier, Power's storytelling prowess kept me spellbound while hurtling through his tales of the guides -- some heroic, some tragic -- and those who they lead through some of the most beautiful and remote places on the planet.”
