A new book is being forged by the team behind The Story of New Zealand Freeskiing.
This is the story of a new type of skiing that launched wave after wave of ripping Kiwi skiers onto the global stage. In the resulting carnage it was often the New Zealanders who were left standing on the podium; leaving in their wake tongue-tied commentators, roaring spectators and the lifeless husks of their adversaries.
This book comes from a parallel universe where everyone is friends on a powder day. A utopia where it makes perfect sense to be hopelessly addicted to something that falls out of the sky. A world where the truth never stands in the way of a good line…
This is Skibum Life: shocking tales from the interplanetary snow bohemians and dedicated powder fiends propping up the bar in your local ski resort. Their stories veer between the most profound of human experiences and soap opera with skis on. This is the tragicomedy of life above the snowline: sex, death, and drama - all while praying for pow.
There is only one suitable backdrop for the titanic trials and triumphs of the skibum lifestyle: a curated collection of the world’s best ski photography.

This is a different approach where larger text tells more of a story about the book. The images follows a narrative with the gist of ‘Men and women - doing everything it takes to find the right line in the best pow while having a laugh along the way. Some heroes having been doing it for longer than us. Hopefully these aren’t the last of days. Just a vive - Sam will know better.

PHOTOS OF HELICOPTERS – difficult one to integrate into the skibum lifestyle – as helitrips are really just a dream for your average skibum – unless you hustle for a spare seat… Best to remove these photos on the website? We can work them into the book as a “dare to dream” or hustle angle.
