Excerpts from The Ski Bum Book
His parents had built this mountain house for him at an altitude of two thousand three hundred meters, because at this height there was no sign of shortness of breath. But the bug did not breathe easily at this height. “This is his idealism,” said his psychiatrist in Zurich. He refused to admit it. It was unnatural. But an elite anti-nature. Bad luck summary What do you want worse than this? This house was very expensive. His stones were lifted one by one by sledge to the top of the mountain. It was like a battle castle built on a rock. The village of Wellen was seven hundred meters below it. Ebbig was found there. There you could see the clouds under your feet. There was more snow around than anywhere else except the Himalayas. Everything in this house was beautiful and glorious.
