A National Parks ranger turned writer, Vickery was the author of three books and lived in a remote cabin in the Boundary Waters region. His second book, Open Spaces, won the inaugural Sigurd F. Olson Nature Writing Award. Winter Sign is "the profound story of fifteen years of serving the seven-month-long odyssey of winter in the far north ... Against this backdrop, Huot-Vickery writes authoritatively on the ecology the area and philosophically about winter's probing of the human spirit."
