The Fall Line
by Lucid Fitzpatrick
“A skier holds no envy toward a bird soaring in the sky.”
A once-in-a-lifetime storm transforms The Seraphs Ski Haven into a winter cathedral, drawing skiers who seek pilgrimage in its epic conditions. Aris Godric, a student fulfilling his bucket list dream to ski The Seraphs, hires Zack Reeves, a ski instructor devoted to perfection and the classical style. Together, their journey becomes a dance of life and death, freedom and confinement, where every turn holds the promise of exhilaration and the peril of mortality.
Through the lens of skiing, Godric and Reeves explore the boundaries of human courage, the allure of risk, and the essence of what it means to truly live.
In this thrilling and thought-provoking story, skiing transcends into a spiritual act as Godric and Reeves discover that deliverance lies in engaging The Fall Line.
For too long, serious literature has ignored Skiing. Despite its daring beauty and elegant grace, authors have excluded the sport from pantheon of great literature.
In The Fall Line, Lucid Fitzpatrick corrects this injustice, proving that skiing is a worthy subject in a lasting work of art. What Ernest Hemingway brought to bullfighting, Lucid Fitzpatrick achieves with Skiing. At last, Skiing earns its rightful place of honor from an author bold enough to declare it.
