Instant Karma
Cultural Writing. Biography and Memoir. With the beauty and precision of a poet, Wayne Sheldrake examines his place in the close community of ski bums, people who give up "normality" to live on their own terms. Sheldrake's is a life of recklessness and restlessness, dedicated to adventure, courage, and the pure joy of second and third chances. He maps the hidden trails of virgin snow and conjures the rush of hucking off cornices and skiing blind in sudden snowstorms with exacting detail, all the while finding his way to understanding and accepting the powerful bonds of romance, friendship, and learning to let go. In Sheldrake's universe, "instant karma" is what happens when we believe our grandest passion can't be separated from the everyday, and then live in accordance with that faith. Wayne Sheldrake has lived in Colorado for over thirty years, working as a ski instructor, teacher, ranch hand, and river guide. He received an MFA from Antioch University-Los Angeles and has written for magazines such as Writer's Digest and America West. He lives with his wife in Southern Colorado. And he skies.

Instant Karma
Now an affordable soft-cover edition of the collectible 2007 cult classic. Burying the fears of real life in the real fears of life in the extremes, a dysfunctional college ski bum slides toward redemption-one euphoric ski run at time. Battling a volatile childhood, homelessness, open heart surgery, criminal habits, mutilating wrecks and the affliction of his own hidden death wish, this refugee finds a new life in the hideaways of North America's frontier powder outbacks. Seeking hallucinogenic immolations of bottomless snow and dodging the menace of his own recklessness, his unwitting and lucky transformation comes at the hands of likeminded friends and a providential romance.
Ski Films
Skiing in movies, like the sport itself, grew more prevalent beginning in the 1930s, when it was a pastime of the elite, with depictions reflecting changes in technique, fashion and social climate. World War II saw skiing featured in a dozen films dealing with that conflict. Fueled by postwar prosperity, the sport exploded in the 1950s--filmmakers followed suit, using scenes on snow-covered slopes for panoramic beauty and the thrill of the chase. Through the free-spirited 1960s and 1970s, the downhill lifestyle shussed into everything from spy thrillers to beach party romps. The extreme sports era of the 1980s and 1990s brought snowboarding to the big screen. This first ever critical history of skiing in film chronicles a century of alpine cinema, with production information and stories and quotes from directors, actors and stuntmen.
