Synopses & Reviews
Synopsis
Slush Mountain is a humorous, loving and ironic tribute to winter cabin and ski culture, from hot chocolate to wet trousers and too-tight ski boots. The grand illustrations follow a day in the life of the various odd creatures who live in a quirky remote mountain village--we meet the hard-core skiing enthusiasts, bandits, a romantic couple, an accordion performer and a snowshoe maker. It will appeal to anyone who has had skis on--whether they liked it or not!

About the Author
"It's a clear, crisp morning on Slush Mountain. There's not a cloud in the sky and the newly-fallen snow shines in the sunlight. At Wanderlust Lodge, the temperature is four below, and the skiing conditions are second to none.
The cross-country trails are already crawling with rosy-cheeked skiers. With backpacks full of oranges and chocolate chip cookies, they're slogging up the mountainside at full speed.
Others prefer to go off-trail, away from the crowds and long line-ups. The insufferable show-off Bruce "the Spruce" Crampon is ski-jumping off a cabin roof with such gusto that his ski pants flap wildly in the wind."
