A surprising and important book.

Outsider follows journalist Brett Popplewell as he uncovers the story of Dag Aabye, an aging former stuntman who lived alone inside a school bus on a mountain, running day and night through blizzards and heat waves.

The book chronicles Aabye’s life from childhood to the silver screen, reflecting on our notions of aging, belonging and human accomplishment. 

Dag Aabye is often credited the world’s first extreme skier.

His life is extreme, as well.

GREAT ending.
