And so when I began reading Tracks in the Snow I thought I might not be interested in all this about skiing. I was wrong. I soon began page-turning and was hooked... I read for many reasons, including for information, entertainment, insight, stimulation, brain exercise, word play and soul nutrition. When putting down Tracks in the Snow, at the end, I realized I had got something else from it. What to call it? The best I have come up with is Transfer of Experience. It was a wonderful experience."-Pat Cameron, Bend, Oregon, via email"Shelton takes us on a trip through his life that reaffirms his reputation as one of the best skiing writers of our time."-Billy Cyr, in The Avalanche Review"Peter is our literary Ullr."-Daiva Chesonis, owner Between the Covers Bookstore, Telluride: "A skier's progress from boyhood to old-man-of-the-mountain."

"This is the story of a cat named Clyde who had lots of adventures... after he died!" Thus begins a journey through the natural world that is part science and part fantasy. Like all creatures, Clyde is transformed and reintegrated into the natural world of growing things, plants, water, and weather. In poetic and vivid language and warm and colorful illustrations, this story seeks to put the death of a pet into its widest, most universal, and in a sense most benign context. An eye-opener for children of all ages, and a beautiful sympathetic meditation for adults.
