Book excerpt: “Olmsted opens a window into a psychologically compelling world of passion and purpose.” —Harvey Araton, author of Our Last Season: A Writer, a Fan, a Friendship Larry Olmsted’s writing and research have been called “eye-opening” (People), “impressive” (Publishers Weekly, starred review), and “enlightening” (Kirkus Reviews). Now, the New York Times and Washington Post bestselling author turns his expertise to a subject that has never been fully explored, delivering a highly entertaining game changer that uses brand-new research to show us why being a sports fan is good for us individually and is a force for positive change in society. Fans is a passionate reminder of how games, teams, and the communities dedicated to them are vital to our lives. Citing fascinating new studies on sports fandom, Larry Olmsted makes the case that the more you identify with a sports team, the better your social, psychological, and physical health is; the more meaningful your relationships are; and the more connected and happier you are. Fans maintain better cognitive processing as their gray matter ages; they have better language skills; and college students who follow sports have higher GPAs, better graduation rates, and higher incomes after graduating. And there’s more: On a societal level, sports help us heal after tragedies, providing community and hope when we need it most. Fans is the perfect gift for anyone who loves sports or anyone who loves someone who loves sports.

Download or read book Sun Valley, Ketchum, and the Wood River Valley written by John W. Lundin and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2020-06-29 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sun Valley and Ketchum are in Idaho's Wood River Valley, gateway to backcountry and wilderness areas. Settlers first arrived in the early 1880s, attracted by a silver rush. In 1883, the railroad connected the valley to the world beyond its borders and brought in outside capital. During the silver depression of the 1890s, mining was replaced by sheep raising, and the area later shipped more sheep than anywhere except Australia. In 1936, during the Great Depression, Union Pacific board chairman Averell Harriman built Sun Valley, the country's first destination ski resort, spending $2.5 million in two years ($45 million today). Sun Valley offered a lavish lifestyle, a luxurious lodge, Austrian ski instructors, and chairlifts invented by Union Pacific engineers. Known as America's St. Moritz, it was a magnet for beautiful people and serious skiers. It had a monopoly on grandeur for decades and influenced ski areas that developed later. Subsequent owners Bill Janss and the Holding family expanded and improved Sun Valley, making it one of the world's premier year-round resorts.

Download or read book Skiing Sun Valley: A History from Union Pacific to the Holdings written by John W. Lundin and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2020 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Union Pacific Railroad's Averell Harriman had a bold vision to restore rail passenger traffic decimated by the Great Depression: create ski tourism in Idaho's remote Wood River Valley. A $1.5 million investment opened Sun Valley in December 1936 with a lavish lodge, luxury shopping, Austrian ski instructors and extensive backcountry skiing. Prestigious tournaments featured the world's best skiers. Chairlifts invented by Union Pacific engineers serviced skiers quickly and comfortably. Ski instructor and filmmaker Otto Lang recalled that seemingly overnight, it became "a magnet for the 'beautiful people,' a meeting place for movie stars and moguls, chairmen and captains of industry, Greek shipping tycoons, and peripatetic playboys--and playgirls--of the international social set." After World War II and Harriman's departure, Union Pacific's willingness to pay the $500,000 yearly subsidy waned. Bill Janss purchased it in 1964 and reimagined it as a year-round resort but lacked the capital for growth. Sinclair Oil owners Earl and Carol Holding acquired it in 1977, revitalizing it into a premier resort with international status. Award-winning ski historian John W. Lundin celebrates America's first destination ski resort using unpublished Union Pacific documents, oral histories, contemporaneous accounts and more than 150 historic images.

Book excerpt: Is Sun Valley, Idaho, a classic ski destination, about to destroy its heritage? As the resort industry becomes increasingly commercialized, Sun Valley has managed to retain its charm. It is still a place of free-spirited, beauty-loving, outdoor recreationists who cherish its Western flavor and authentic, friendly community. But that is changing. Decades of promoting tourism and second-home development over economic diversity, along with insular leadership, are undermining its historic character, quality of life, and entrepreneurial spirit, while creating a growing wealth divide. The commercial core is becoming urbanized Workforce housing is virtually nonexistent Young people and workers are leaving in droves A huge wealth gap has more than half the community struggling to make ends meet Author, business consultant, and one of Idaho's Women of the Year Jima Rice, Ph.D. asks, "Will Sun Valley preserve its historic essence and character? Or will it succumb to the commercialization adopted by other get-away havens?" Creating the Future for Sun Valley follows the unique evolution of the first destination ski resort in America and the rural Idaho mountain community that cradles it. Built by Averell Harriman, and then owned by Olympic-class skier Bill Janss and Sinclair Oil magnate Earl Holding, the Resort cultivated a celebrity following and international reputation. Along the way, the community developed a lively personality, known for its close-knit, eclectic small-town culture and peaceful beauty: a place for ski bums, Hollywood stars, hippies, entrepreneurs, wealthy retirees, and dedicated outdoor recreationists. After 80 years, the community is still tight, sharing rich memories, generations of adventure, and an extraordinary quality of life. The pursuit of tourism over economic diversity Economic experts have advised Sun Valley to build a resilient and innovative economy founded on entrepreneurship and business diversity, not transient visitors. But that advice has yet to be heeded. Creating the Future for Sun Valley sides with the economic experts, suggesting why and how the community must advance Main Street interests to preserve its unique character. Will leaders realize the local quality of life depends on the binding fabric of its small business community? Will they acknowledge that tourism and thriving entrepreneurship can complement each other? Will leaders finally build the diverse business base needed for economic stability, innovation, and growth? The Valley's historic success was born out of entrepreneurship. Creating the Future of Sun Valley takes readers on a well-written journey through the area's unique history, present-day threats to its future, and what it must do to sustain its extraordinary lifestyle.
