Let’s work together

Have an idea? I’d love to hear it!

Ayja Bounous is a Salt Lake City–based writer inspired by water in all its forms. She is the award-winning author of Junior Bounous and the Joys of Skiing and Shaped by Snow: Defending the Future of Winter, and a contributor to Alta and Little Cottonwood: Jewel of the Wasatch Mountains. Ayja holds a master’s in Environmental Humanities from the University of Utah and hosts Snow + Salt, a podcast exploring seasonal rhythms in the Wasatch. Her work is rooted in the mountains, guided by the belief that snowmelt has stories to tell.

Shaped by Snow was her first book.

Junior Bounous and the Joys of Skiing is her second book.
