When Alex Harbottle thinks of childhood, he thinks of his father strapping him into skis at two years old, the over 150 days of skiing per season, and accumulating intimate knowledge of Tahoe’s terrain, something he felt compelled to share with others in his new book, Powder Paradise: The Insider’s Guide to Skiing Lake Tahoe.
“I wanted to pass along the good times and tips to help others create their own magical memories and experiences,” Harbottle says, who grew up in Tahoe City and now splits his time between his hometown and San Francisco.
