During the year he also wrote a book, Snow Crazy (Metro) chronicling a century of enthralling and whimsical events from the Ski Club’s history, and presented ‘100’ - a centenary video, incorporating a substantial amount of footage from the Ski Club’s archives. Wilson has won a number of accolades for his ski writing, including awards from The German National Tourist Office, and Ski USA, an organisation devoted to marketing the benefits of American skiing.. He was named British Ski Writer of the Year in 1999. Wilson has now skied in almost 700 resorts in 25 countries and has no plans to hang up his skis until he has made it 1,000. His latest mission - to ski in all 37 of America’s “skiing states” – was completed in 2011 when he ticked off his final state: Arizona. Wilson, who has four skiing daughters, Samantha, Lara, Amber and Melissa, is the author of Top Ski Resorts of the World (published by New Holland, October 2002 and available in German, Italian and Hungarian editions)  with an introduction by Franz Klammer, as well as the Thomas Cook International Top 50 Ski Resorts (1989) and Ski The World (1998). In 2007, he was contributing editor of another major coffee-table skiing book, Ski Atlas of the World, also published by New Holland, and translated into Dutch and even Russian. The maps were designed by Wilson’s friend and colleague, Andrew Reeves, art director of Ski+board magazine.
