Book excerpt: * Filled with historical photographs * Includes excerpts from diaries, newspaper files, community histories, and personal interviews The highway through Washington's Cascades at Snoqualmie Pass is one of the most heavily used mountain transportation routes in the country. Yet, within sight of its concrete ribbons, one can find sections of the primitive wagon road that brought prairie-state settlers through the pass to open up the Puget Sound country. Traces can still be found of an even earlier route, the trail used by the Indians for hunting and trading. Others traveled the pass as civilization moved West: fur traders, miners, military horse columns, cattle drovers, farmers, precursors of today's land developers. A little ferryboat once crossed Lake Keechelus to link up the wagon road; then logging and dam building altered the lake forever. The coming of the automobile; the establishment of two railways and then subsequent waves of highway construction brought the pass into the modern era, which also saw the birth of the ski resort in the Northwest. This is the story of the evolution of the Snoqualmie Pass, from narrow Indian trail to multi-laned Interstate 90, and of the people who took part along the way. For the hundreds who drive through the pass daily, for the countless thousands more who have skied, hiked, snowshoed and climbed in this alpine playground, it's a fascinating tale.

Book excerpt: Situated in the Cascades about 50 miles east of Seattle, Snoqualmie Pass is intersected by the most heavily used route connecting eastern and western Washington. In the 1800s, use of the old Native American trail by explorers, cattlemen, and miners created a need for a wagon road. A railway and highway followed, and Snoqualmie Pass quickly developed into an all-season recreational paradise with over a half million visitors annually. Known for easy access to snow sports and the Alpine Lakes Wilderness area, nighttime ski operations, and the world-famous terrain of Alpental, Snoqualmie Pass is also a community of neighborhoods with both full-time and part-time residents who share a unique mountain lifestyle.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Relive the exciting early days of skiing when Snoqualmie Pass was the epicenter of the sport. Ski jumping tournaments attracted world-class competitors to Cle Elum, Beaver Lake on the Summit and the Milwaukee Ski Bowl. The Mountaineers' twenty-mile race from Snoqualmie to Stampede Pass, dubbed "the world's longest and hardest race," was a pinnacle of cross-country skiing. Alpine skiing began in private ski clubs and expanded in 1934 with the country's first municipal ski area, known as the Seattle Municipal Ski Park. And the sport peaked when the Milwaukee Ski Bowl at Hyak opened in 1938. With train access, a modern ski lodge, an overhead cable lift and free ski lessons from the Seattle Times, the Ski Bowl revolutionized local skiing. Lawyer and local ski historian John W. Lundin follows the historic tracks through the genesis of American skiing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Century of Northwest wilderness skiing stories by noted expert 150 black-and-white and color photographs Celebrates the friluftsliv, or open-air living spirit, of backcountry skiing In Written in the Snows, renowned local skiing historian Lowell Skoog presents a definitive and visually rich history of the past century of Northwest ski culture, from stirring and colorful stories of wilderness exploration to the evolution of gear and technique. He traces the development of skiing in Washington from the late 1800s to the present, covering the beginnings of ski resorts and competitions, the importance of wild places in the Olympic and Cascade mountains (including Oregon's Mount Hood), and the friluftsliv, or open-air living spirit, of backcountry skiing. Skoog addresses how skiing has been shaped by larger social trends, including immigration, the Great Depression, war, economic growth, conservation, and the media. In turn, Northwest skiers have affected their region in ways that transcend the sport, producing local legends like Milnor Roberts, Olga Bolstad, Hans Otto Giese, Bill Maxwell, and more. While weaving his own impressions and experiences into the larger history, Skoog shows that skiing is far more than mere sport or recreation.

Book excerpt: The wealthy, sophisticated and handsome New England College of Art Professor, Beck Mitchell, has just made the mistake of his life. HeOCOs unwittingly insulted an underworld kingpin and now the don, Maurice, Maw DiFazio, is out to salve his honor with BeckOCOs blood. After a hit attempt in which Beck is wounded in the face, he panicks, and, bleeding and disfigured, flees his swanky Providence, Rhode Island penthouse and catches the first plane out of town. He winds up in Seattle, rents a car and heads for the hills to lay low and lick his wounds. But thereOCOs a blizzard blowing up in the Cascade MountainsOCothe worst in twenty years, and BeckOCOs wound is festering. HeOCOs feverish, delirious, and in all the wind and snow, he becomes lost and runs his rental car off the road. Soon, heOCOs picked up by a couple of men in a beat-up van who take him to their isolated, broken-down farmhouse. There, he is held captive by a heavily armed right-wing militia group calling itself the Sons of Freedom. Calvin, the paranoid, leader of the Sons of Freedom, suspects Beck is a government agent and puts him on trial for espionage. The high, lonely Cascade Mountains of Washington State are locked deep in the frigid grip of February, but things have turned plenty hot for Beck. Two stone-cold mob soldiers have tracked Beck to the militia headquarters with orders to kill him in the most extravagant way possible. But the extra-chromosome, extra-xenophobic Calvin and his fellow militiamen are not about to let a couple of hoods from the big city take their prisoner from them. It's white supremacist dogma versus Mafioso honor. Beck will have to lay aside his mantle of refinement and get down and dirty with the rest of the boys. HeOCOs helped along the way by a Northwest Native American shaman and the lithe Jaz Reilly, a beautiful young bounty hunter. Boson Books also offers THINK FAST! by Darby Roach.
