THE FIRST ILLUSTRATED ATLAS TO DISCOVER THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF SNOW
Powdery and soft, or wet and heavy: snow tells its story through the microstructure and density of its flakes, but also by analysing the humidity and temperature of the air… These are the indispensable factors in the formation of the snowpack, a natural phenomenon that can hide and reveal, cover and transform a landscape, to the point of making it a work of art.
If snow science deals with analysing and classifying the seasonal snow on the ground, literature, cinema and poetry transform those crystals into splendid scenery to be inhabited with the imagination… And sport, architecture and exploration offer an innovative look at the whitest and most fleeting atmospheric phenomenon of winter, which, in these pages, will be traversed with the knowledge of snow and the passionate curiosity of a voyage of discovery.
Written in collaboration with Arabba’s Avalanche Centre
