WATCH: Behind the Book - The FIFTY

In this interview with all of the authors of the book, "Fifty Classic Ski Descents of North America", Penn Newhard, Chris Davenport, and Art Burrows divulge how they picked the lines, what went into the creation of the book, and how it's standing the test of time.
