My Year of Skiing Dangerously: Taos, New Mexico

- I know Westbrook from his many mystery tales, and this continues his long tradition of fine writing. In this and his other essays, he adds a sense of humor that is refreshing. Fun read!

- A bit of fun in Taos Ski Valley

Robert Westbrook's short starts slow but then gets into what it is like skiing in Taos, and does so accurately. For 49 cents you get much more than just your money's worth. - 2006-10-23, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:
