## About this book

Snow Crazy: 115 Years of British Ski History is a detailed sports history focusing on the evolution of Alpine skiing. This volume 1 account begins in 1903 with the founding of the Ski Club of Great Britain at the Café Royal in London. It explores an era before modern resorts and lifts existed, when skiing was a niche pursuit for English eccentrics.

The book utilizes anecdotes from the official club almanac to document the transition of winter sports from a minority diversion to a global obsession. This non-fiction work provides a fascinating look at the early pioneers of the sport in Great Britain. Readers find a collection of bizarre and amusing stories that trace the development of skiing across the Alps, blending sports history with cultural commentary.
