Skiing Around The World - Launching Oneself From Places On Top Of The Planet! by Owen Jones
Embark on a thrilling journey into the heart of extreme skiing with our exploration, Skiing Around The World. This book invites you to delve into the adrenaline-charged world of those who dare to defy gravity, pushing the boundaries of conventional skiing into uncharted territory. From the formidable slopes of Chamonix to the untouched powder of Alaska's vast wilderness, we unravel the tales of intrepid skiers navigating the steepest descents our planet has to offer. Join us as we venture into the back-country, where untracked snow and the raw beauty of nature set the stage for an exhilarating dance with gravity. Safety gear in hand and skills finely tuned, these thrill-seekers document their descents, sharing the heart-stopping moments and awe-inspiring landscapes through the lens of extreme skiing films. Skiing Around The World is your passport to the world of skiing, where every descent is a conquest, every slope a challenge, and every adventure an ode to the indomitable spirit of those who seek the thrill of the steepest descents on Earth. Get ready to experience the rush, the beauty, and the sheer audacity of extreme skiing like never before.Owen Jones was born in Barry, South Wales, and lived there until he was 18 years old, when he moved to Portsmouth to study Russian. He relocated to s'Hertogenbosch, the Netherlands, after earning his degree and resided there for ten years. Owen returned to Barry at the age of 32 to work for his family's construction company, first as a painter, then as a director. When he notified his local bank that he had been promoted to 'painter and director,' they corrected him, stating, 'No, you mean a 'painter and decorator.' For ten years, he was also the office manager.
Owen relocated to Thailand at the age of 50 to live with a Thai female he met while on vacation there. He married her and now lives in her birth hamlet in distant northern Thailand's rice belt. 'Born in the Land of Song, living in the Land of Smiles,' as Owen puts it.
