Snowstruck: In the Grip of Avalanches by Jill Fredston

adventurous dark medium-paced

4.0

I quite enjoyed this. It’s very accessible and covers so much of Fredston’s career without dragging on. Except for the section on avalanches in film, which seemed a little out of place though still fun to read. I would have appreciated maybe a diagram or two to understand things like depth hoar or to spatially orient myself during some of her recaps of rescues and whatnot (I should just go read her other book, I know). Overall, it’s an nice look into a niche field and Fredston’s experiences with nature, community, and loss.
