Tracking the Wild Coomba

Tracking the Wild Coomba portrays the life of renowned skier Doug Coombs, who revolutionized extreme skiing by pioneering hundreds of first descents down the steepest mountains of the world. From his childhood in New England to the French Alps, Coombs’s life was all about skiing. The book sheds light on his early years, success in Alaska, and tragic death while attempting to rescue a fellow skier. Coombs endured a life-threatening accident at the age of 16 which instilled a sense of fearlessness in him, and he went on to become the face of major ski companies, kings of big mountain extreme skiing, and won the first World Extreme Ski Competition in Valdez, Alaska.
