Sandra Newman holds a Master’s Degree in Education and for eighteen years taught Fashion Art on the college level in Boston, Massachusetts. Originally from Island Falls, Maine, Sandy’s passion for skiing developed as a little girl skiing Maine’s ski areas: May Mountain, Sugarloaf and Squaw. It was while teaching skiing for Taos Ski Valley’s Children’s Ski School in Taos, New Mexico that "Sam," her skiing nick-name, discovered her tale of Scooter, the magical Purple Mogul Mouse who causes such havoc on ski hills, believable. Understanding learning to ski can be a very scary experience for children and/or adults, especially when bumps or moguls are seen and tried for the first time, she started to tell her magical tale. It was at Taos Ski Valley she met the children who insisted the tale of Scooter, the Purple Mogul Mouse become a book because they want to see the movie.

Dedication:
I would especially like to dedicate this book to my very special friend, Millie Plouffe, without her continuous support and enthusiasm, this book would still be just a tale to tell. And to all my little skier friends at Taos Ski Valley who insisted, “Sam, write it down.” To my parents, Dr. and Mrs. Ray C. Newman, thank you for encouraging me to reach for the stars.
