Noted Colorado nature photographer John Fielder will showcase some of his winter images during a presentation with CMC faculty member Jon Kedrowski on Nov. 29 in Glenwood Springs. The event is free and open to the public.

The event is part of Fielder’s and Kedrowski’s current book tour that features Fielder’s new book, “A Colorado Winter,” and Kedrowski’s newly released “Classic Colorado Ski Descents.” Accompanied by a musical backdrop, both authors will share stories of their combined 60 years spent in the state’s outdoors.

Fielder’s book focuses on 80 of his winter photographic images, from his home in Summit County to backcountry ski routes. Named a Colorado Mountain Club guidebook, Kedrowski’s new book showcases 300 of the state’s backcountry ski descents.
