Like other TIME correspondents round the globe, Prager had gone to the mountain to gather material for this week's cover story. Unexpectedly, he found himself an active participant-at 11,250 ft.-in one of the world's fastest-growing sports. Though first put on skis at the age of three, Prager had not set boot to binding for 26 years. His talks with Seibert provided all the inspiration he needed...
