Among them was Craig Kelly—“the Michael Jordan of snowboarding”—a world champion who had propelled the sport into the mainstream before walking away from competitions to rekindle his passion in the untamed alpine wilds of North America.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Darkest White tells the story of Craig Kelly’s life, an extraordinary and inspiring odyssey of a latchkey kid whose athletic prowess and innovations revolutionized winter sports, carried him around the globe, and pushed him into increasingly extreme backcountry environments. It is also a definitive, immersive account of how snowboarding grew from a minor Gen X cult hobby to Olympic centerpiece and a billion-dollar business full of feuds and rivalries. This mesmerizing tribute is a cautionary portrait of the mountains, of the allure and the glory they offer, and of the avalanches they unleash with unforgiving fury.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"JUST BOOKS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42945478787187,"sku":"9780063381841","price":185.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2291\/7991\/files\/81CmoCXxVlL._SY466.jpg?v=1764571358","url":"https:\/\/readerswarehouse.us\/products\/9780063381841","provider":"Readers Warehouse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
