Nice catch. That's pretty disappointing.
The CMC staff is well informed of Kedrowski's antics and his reputation in the mountaineering community. Some of them share the opinions expressed here. Sadly, the same people who will fill this REI class will also buy a book called Colorado Ski Descents, which closes a gap in the current CMC Press library. The 14ers.com community (even extending to say the "dedicated Colorado mountaineering community") represents a tiny fraction of REI customers and CMC Press buyers. There are way more people who moved here in 2016 from Chicago who think Colorado Ski Descents will look pretty rad on the coffee table of their Breckenridge vacation rental. They'll never even bother to look at the author's name.
Forgive my ignorance, but why don't they carry this book by Ben Conners and Brian Miller instead? Or the other existing options? https://www.amazon.com/Climbing-Skiing- ... 0762791853
"The love of wilderness is more than a hunger for what is always beyond reach; it is also an expression of loyalty to the earth, the earth which bore us and sustains us, the only home we shall ever know, the only paradise we ever need – if only we had the eyes to see." -Ed Abbey

"I get scared sometimes—lots of times—but it's not bad. You know? I feel close to myself. When I'm out there at night, I feel close to my own body, I can feel my blood moving, my skin and my fingernails, everything, it's like I'm full of electricity and I'm glowing in the dark—I'm on fire almost—I'm burning away into nothing—but it doesn't matter because I know exactly who I am." from The Things They Carried

“There are two kinds of climbers: those who climb because their heart sings when they’re in the mountains, and all the rest.” - Alex Lowe

"There have been joys too great to describe in words, and there have been griefs upon which I cannot dare to dwell; and with those in mind I say, 'Climb if you will, but remember that courage and strength are nought without prudence, and that a momentary negligence may destroy the happiness of a lifetime. Do nothing in haste, look well to each step, and from the beginning think what may be the end.'" - Edward Whymper

"Hatred of Trump outweighs moral decency"
Yeah, I wrote that.
Not whining Dave, just a warning.
You and others should consider heeding it.

Anyway, your last post was just a distraction to
avoid manning up that your original post was a lie.
A hit piece with no basis in fact.
A made up narrative to smear someone
you have had past disagreements with.
Mean spirited to say the least.

And I did not post a picture of Obama "portrayed" as a muslim.
I posted a picture of Obama "Dressed" as a muslim.
Not only are you an out and out liar,
but like all good leftists you use subtle
word changes to foster deception.

Bottom line here people
Don't trust Dave,
Dave is a liar.

No need to reply, I'm out of here.
I'll leave you all with this:

What I am really confused about is that Mountaineers Books is publishing the book by Brittany and Frank Konsellas on the same subject (2 people who actually did ski all the 14ers) - i.e. best/classic ski descents in Colorado, which comes out at the same time as JK book (?)

"I haven't climbed Everest, skied to the poles, or sailed single-handed around the world. The goals I set out to accomplish aren't easily measured or quantified by world records or "firsts." The reasons I climb, and the climbs I do, are about more than distance or altitude, they are about breaking barriers within myself."

Whether you're talking about voting for Trump or buying Kedrowksi's products a quotation from PT Barnum is applicable, "there's a sucker born every minute."
