Interesting lady from an interesting childhood

I love stories of unique people and how they got where they are and this one doesnt disappoint in the least. It takes this gutsy young woman from childhood through accidents and challenges and while you may not like her you'll respect her for her guts and tenacity. She may not be an honor winning girl scout but she gets my vote for teaching us how to succeed. Worth your time.

Go Peak!

Picabo not only makes a sublime skier but also a sublime author! This is really great book!Remember my name because one day I will race at the Olympics.

Finally a true good source to meet Picabo

I loved this book right from the biggining.I live in Chile and love skiing. Picabo comes sometimes on her summer to train on Chile and its just the greatest to see her training.What I love about her is that she is a very authentic person and says just what she is thinking.It seems to me that she has had a blast in her life, gone places, met people, won medals, campaign for Nike, etc.Also, she is my same age , and so it is always interesting to see what others girls like me can do.

An Inspiring Story

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I felt I went thru Picabo's career with her, from her early days on the slopes til her recent wins and injuries. Her courage thru her trials and tribulations is very inspiring! I'm looking forward to watching her at the Olympics. Go Picabo, go America!!

This is a great story of how one person makes it happen!

If you are ever in need of some motivation to make your dreams come true...if you ever doubt your abilities and wonder if "little ol you" can accomplish the impossible....Read Picabo's book. Picabo is a wonderful example of what one person can accomplish, when they put their mind to it! We'll definitely be cheering Picabo on in the 2002 Winter Olympics! GO Picabo and GO USA!
