SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. Local author, teacher and soccer coach, Jeremy Evans has been working on retracing the journey that brought Marco Siffredi to the slopes of Mt. Everest in 2002.
With a mission to solve a mystery that may go forever unsolved, Evans finds himself understanding the convictions, passion and unrelenting tenacity of Siffredi.
In the book, “See You Tomorrow,” Evans delves into the life of the iconic 23-year-old snowboarder from Chamonix, France. He was the son of a mountain guide and also was the first person to make a continuous descent on the Norton Couloir. While there have been accounts and stories written in French of Siffredi’s life and attempt of the infamously difficult Hornbein Couloir, Evans wanted to bring his story into the hands of American readers.
