This event will be Dan Egan and Eric Wilbur’s first public signing on the East coast since the release of the new book.

As the CTO of Alps & Meters, Dan represents the brand through his authentic storytelling of his mountain life and the people, places, trials, and success that came with it.

“Rarely if ever has the ski bum life been told as authentically and honestly as in Thirty Years in a White Haze. Written with remarkable candor and introspection, the book is a chronicle of his nearly primal pursuit of skiing. From the tension of sibling rivalry to the realities of an athlete getting older, Dan Egan has penned a fearless personal and cultural history of one of the most dynamic eras in skiing. Not only is it a must-read for fans of the sport, especially those whose jackets are patched with duct tape, it’s a page-turning confessional of a career spent on multiple edges.”
