Born in Upper Austria, Marlies Czerny has climbed all 82 four-thousand-meter peaks in the Alps and loves exploring through mountaineering and paragliding and telling stories about her experiences. She works as a freelance Alpine author and lecturer and is a state-certified instructor for high-altitude mountaineering and ski touring. She has written two books: 4000ERLEBEN and Mein nächster Berg about Peter Habeler.
Jonathan Franklin is an author and investigative reporter based in South America. As a correspondent for The Guardian, Washington Post, and Sydney Morning Herald, he has covered the continent's biggest news stories over the past three decades. Born and raised in the mountains of New Hampshire, he started skiing soon after walking and has explored the slopes of the Andes in the best—and worst—conditions. His only advice to newbies south of the equator is to slather on the sunblock—you won't believe how sunny these slopes get. Franklin's books cover extreme survival and include the saga of the trapped Chilean miners (33 Men) and a fisherman lost at sea for 14 months (438 Days).

Le Breton lives in a rural village in Kent, England, with her ski-mad husband and two small daughters, who share their love for the mountains.
