Dan Egan – Degan Media A peak performer who’s known valleys

The title to his latest book might sound like something a debauched rock ‘n roller would fess up to: “Thirty Years in a White Haze.”

“Not that kind of powder,” Dan Egan emphasizes with a laugh. On the contrary, he’s referring to what can be the fluffy and pristine gift from above or the cause in rendering someone snowblind.

Sometimes both, and more on the latter later.

But suffice it to say that Egan has experienced all facets of that white haze, going from young and reckless ski bum to spiritual grey-haired and multimedia-making pioneer of action sports, starting out with extreme skiing and embracing other white-knuckle endeavors.
