The Edge of Never: A Skier's Story of Life, Death, and Dreams in the World's Most Dangerous Mountains »

William A. Kerig has been a professional skier for 10 years and has contributed to Men's Health, Men's Journal, Powder magazine, Skiing magazine, and Snow Country. He created and coproduced Steep, a feature documentary about big-mountain skiing; has hosted and produced television pieces for ESPN, Fox Sports, and the Weather Channel; and is the author of The Snowboarder's Guide to Life and Utah Underground. He lives in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Capturing the romance and risk of extreme big-mountain skiing, this nonfiction adventure follows 15-year-old Kye Peterson as he attempts to conquer the same mountain in Chamonix, France—known as "the death sport capital of the world"—that claimed the life of his father more than a decade earlier. Aided by some of the greatest ski mountaineers of the day, and followed by a documentary filmmaker and ski enthusiast, this book tells a story of surviving against nature, overcoming mental and physical challenges, and coming of age in a world of extreme adventure.
