Testimonials
Do you have children who love to ski or snowboard? This book should be read by both parents and their children. Before any of us got our driver’s license, we had to read the drivers manual. Think of this book as the ‘drivers’ manual for skiers and snowboarders, both young and not so young. It isn’t often that a book can save someone’s life, but this one certainly can! Denise Pelletier may not have realized it at the time but she suffered AND survived a traumatic brain injury so you or your child wouldn’t have to. Read it and DON’T weep!

Brain Injury Canada is devoted to raising the level of awareness of brain injury prevention and the insight Denise shares in this book helps parents protect their children from injury while opening the channel of communication around the topic of safety. I highly recommend this!
– Barb Butler, President, Brain Injury Canada
Few books can cover off the importance of injury prevention of children involved in snow sports with as much humor and exciting twists and turns as this. I’ve spent over two decades in the ski/snowboard industry both as an EMT-trained Ski Patroller and as Manager and I have witnessed first hand the types of injuries that can occur on a ski hill. This book conveys a strong message to children and parents alike to always put safety at the forefront whenever heading out to the slopes.
