Ski the World by Arnie Wilson
Swept along in the midst of a love affair, Arnie Wilson and his French girlfriend Lucy Dicker decide to ski every single day throughout 1994. Their adventure took them to 240 resorts and earned them a place in the "Guinness Book of Records" as they took on the treacherous slopes of the Rockies, the Alps, the Himalayas and the Andes. On New Year's Eve 1994, they triumphed. Then on a clear, sunny day in the Alps, tragedy struck. In a couloir above La Grave, Lucy slipped. She slid hundreds of feet to die wrapped in Arnie's arms.
