This intriguing volume by Deanna Morgan Kirby offers a comprehensive look at the rich history of skiing in Los Alamos, New Mexico, a town inextricably linked to the Manhattan Project and the development of the atomic bomb. Published in 1989, “Just Crazy to Ski” chronicles the evolution of the sport in this unique setting over the course of five decades, from its humble beginnings in the 1940s to its growth into a beloved local tradition. Kirby’s meticulously researched narrative not only documents the establishment of ski areas and clubs but also delves into the personal stories and experiences of the pioneering skiers who helped shape the sport’s legacy in Los Alamos. This book is a must-have for collectors interested in regional histories, the intersection of science and recreation, and the enduring appeal of winter sports in unexpected locales.
