Warbird Books, December 2012
One winter (you may have heard about it) a stranger came in an old Volks-bus to the ski town of Avalon. His professional title was the High Country Illuminator, and his specialty was psycedelic light shows. But to most people he was simply known as George Togalok (no middle initial), a young Indian from the Salt River Canyon country.
Aside from creating fantastic, illuminated happenings, he was a pretty good skier, though no better than most of the young winter nomads who pack their earthly possessions in their knapsacks, shoulder skis, and head for the snow--for bed-and-board jobs washing dishes, making beds, and collecting garbage. And for unlimited free skiing.
Ridiculously exploited by the Corporations that run the resorts, these light-hearted kids could care less, as long as the skiing holds out. That was the case at Avalon, until the High Country Illuminator made the scene and was (or wasn't) responsible for the Winter of the Great Ski-Bum Rebellion.
Daniel Ford has written a sun-dazzled, spindrift novel of the Now Generation, sparkling with hip humor, light allegory, and a touch of magic, as well as some of the best skiing sequences ever described. (From the Doubleday dust jacket)
