Format: 336 pages, Hardcover

The first ever memoir from the most decorated female skier of all time, revealing never-before-told…

"Part of what I always loved about being on the mountain was the feeling that anything could happen. I would stand there before every run and think anything is possible. I believe that I could win and that I could be whatever I wanted to be if I put my mind to it. That optimism—the potential to work hard and succeed—never failed to excite me. Now, that's how I feel about life. It's taken me a long time to get here, but now I see that the promise of the mountain is everywhere."
