Right on the Edge of Crazy: On Tour with the U. S. Downhill Ski Team

Men of the U.S. ski team compete to see who can get down the hill the fastest, without breaking his neck. They do it to see how far they can push themselves. They also do it for money, and for the sheer, heart-pounding thrill of it. This book is a searing portrait of these ski racers who stake their youth for the adrenaline rush of perfecting this most difficult -- and riotous -- of sports. It portrays the glamour, intensity, and intoxication of their lives, following them across Europe and North America as they sweep into each resort along the tour, party like crazy, and fight like hell to keep their place among this elite group of athletes.Wilson, Mike is the author of 'Right on the Edge of Crazy: On Tour with the U.
