Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Newly graduated from university in Ireland, Lisa McGonigle came to the Kootenay region of British Columbia to spend a winter snowboarding. She wrote emails to her friends back home describing a remote mountaintown called Fernie, a series of smashes in the terrain park, unrivalled powder turns, working for minimumwage and ducttaping over the holes in her outerwear. She left to take up a PhD scholarship to Oxford but the lure of the snow was too much. Several months later she abandoned her laptop, clothes and bike in Oxford and ran away back to BC. She went on to spend another three winters in the Kootenays, trading Fernie for an even smaller, more remote town called Rossland and learning to ski for good measure as well.Composed of the emails written as events unfolded, and infused with an Irish take on Canadiana, Snowdrift documents the joyous, impoverished and injuryridden life of a skibum who'll do almost anything for fresh lines and explores just what happens when you leave it all behind to follow the snow.
