Synopsis
Biography of Hans Gmoser, a central figure in Canadian mountain culture whose work helped shape modern heli-skiing, guiding and backcountry adventure.
Hans Gmoser is best known internationally for his role in the development of heli-skiing, but his life in the mountains extended far beyond one innovation. He was a rock climber, expedition leader, mountain guide, filmmaker and organizer whose projects helped build the culture and institutions of modern mountain recreation in western Canada.
Chic Scott’s Deep Powder and Steep Rock draws extensively on Gmoser’s own diaries, expedition journals, film commentaries and personal correspondence. Those sources allow the biography to follow both the public achievements and the working habits, ambitions and relationships behind them.
The book places Gmoser within the history of the Canadian Rockies and the broader development of skiing and mountaineering in North America. It is a portrait of an energetic and influential mountain figure, told through the documentary record he left behind and the communities he helped create.

paperback. Condition: Very Good. Most of our very good books have only minor imperfections such as shelf wear consistent with a new book that's sat on a bookshop shelf for a year or two. Occasionally we may miss other minor imperfections as we have to grade books at speed. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
