Junior Bounous and the Joys of Skiing: A biography

by Ayja Bounous

Junior Bounous and the Joys of A biography. Before the days of fat skis, Gore-Tex clothing, ski bindings with brakes, avalanche control, or groomed ski runs, when fresh powder lasted for days and lift lines were nonexistent, a rag-tag generation of skiers braved the winter canyons to teach themselves how to ski the deep powder snow of the Wasatch Mountains in Utah. Junior Bounous was one of the leaders of this generation, dedicating his life to sharing the joys of skiing with others. This is his story and the story of how a ski industry, unique in its relationship to powder snow, developed in the heart of the American West.
