Instant Karma: The Heart and Soul of a Ski Bum
In this remarkable book...Sheldrake is at his best, understandably given his home mountain, when describing the allure of powder skiing: I wanted him to feel the wild, white undertow and the psychic cocoon of wide-eyed, amniotic awareness that cast the rest of the world in a distant, irrelevant light. --Telluride Watch, October 9 2007Underlying every word of this book is [Sheldrake's] delight in that very feeling of being, for a very brief moment, a part of something so much bigger than himself. And that joy and awe lingers with me long after the last page. --Dallas Morning NewsFinally a [memoir] that speaks to the soul of a true skier. Wayne Sheldrake describes his life of adventure, injury and the burning passion to ski at all costs.... Not only does he describe killer snowstorms and epic powder days, but he talks about personal redemption and the will to survive. --Powder.com
