Praise for Shaped by Snow

“A love letter and an elegy to a time when innocence could exist before the era of climate change … written with a muscularity of experience by a woman whose character was formed on the ski slopes in the Wasatch Mountains of Utah. Ayja Bounous is an emerging writer of conscience. She has a beautiful voice on the page and in place, this place ‘shaped by snow.’”

—TERRY TEMPEST WILLIAMS, author of The Hour of Land

“Those who love winter will love this book. But as we steadily erase the season that sets us free from friction, Shaped by Snow will appeal to anyone who has ever looked up and thrilled at the first flakes fat in the autumn sky.”

—BILL MCKIBBEN, author of The End of Nature

“In this poignant and engaging love letter to snow, Ayja Bounous beautifully interlaces science, family history, and her anxiety around climate change. This book bears witness to the changing nature of Utah and the Wasatch Front, and is a call to all of us to pay more attention, to choose our actions with thought, and to live with love.”
