Crazy for the Storm Norman Ollestad


finished 09.30.11

This was such a fast-paced read that I finished it in less than a week. Pretty good story. It’s a memoir about how this guy’s dad pushed him hard as a kid to surf and ski in sometimes dangerous situations, but to never give up. He hated it, but it was those lessons that he put to use after a plane he was in crashed on the side of a mountain. This 11 year old kids had to climb down the mountain by himself or die.
