On Tuesday, Sept. 29 you are invited to the Carbondale Branch Library at 6 p.m. to meet local author Lou Dawson, who will be in conversation with New York Times ski and travel writer Cindy Hirschfeld to explore his thrilling new book, “Fourteener Snow” on ski mountaineering across Colorado’s 14,000-foot peaks. This must-read for any Colorado mountain enthusiast is part guidebook, part adventure narrative - complete with history and interviews from the sport’s key figures. The event is free and open to all, and books will be available for sale and signing after the event. For more information call the library at 970-963-2889.
