Tracking the Wild Coomba: The Life of Legendary Skier Doug Coombs

"Doug Coombs had a huge impact on my life; much of my overall approach to mountains comes from his example. I am so grateful that, thanks to author Rob Cocuzzo, I now have the complete story of what influenced one of my biggest heroes."
â€“ Jeremy Jones, snowboarding legend

â€œIn the 1980s, I was lucky enough to be part of the Bozeman gang of ex-ski racers in one of the crucibles of the American steep skiing scene. Robert Cocuzzo accurately captures the amazing Doug and Emily Coombs that I knew then and the myriad of Coombs ski stories.â€
â€“ Bruce Tremper, avalanche expert and author of Staying Alive in Avalanche Terrain

"Doug Coombs was an inspiration to me and so many others on and off the mountain. Now, here is an insightful look at the life of a legend."
Jimmy Chin, climber-photographer

â€¢ A thrilling biography of renowned extreme skiing pioneer Doug Coombs

Arguably the greatest extreme skier to ever live, Doug Coombs pioneered hundreds of first descents down the biggest, steepest, most dangerous mountains in the worldâ€”from the Grand Teton â€œOtter Bodyâ€ in Jackson Hole, to Mount Vinson, the highest point in Antarctica, to far-flung drops such as Wyatt Peak in Kyrgyzstan. He graced magazine covers, wowed moviegoers, became the face of top ski companies, and ascended as the king of big mountain extreme skiing.
