not sure what you're after, historically there's the Lunn books which make interesting reading although I doubt they're available other than second hand and it's not something everyone would find interesting.

more recently there's Wayne Watson's Off Piste which is actually quite good. I think Chris Davenport did a book about skiing the 14ers if you're interested in US back country skiing. Beyond that there's a number of technical books on avalanche safety or general works on risk and adventures in the outdoors.

Thanks ise , I really do enjoy a good sports autobiography, but there are not many ski ones to choose from, I'll google your offerings and see what comes up.
