100 Classic Backcountry Ski and Snowboard Routes in Washington FROM THE PUBLISHER
The man behind the longtime regional favorite Backcountry Skiing in Washington's Cascades is back! In this new guide, Rainer Burgdorfer has selected more than 100 of the best, most challenging descents in Washington -- from Tomyhoi Peak to Teebone Ridge, from Porcupine Creek to Paradise Glacier.
SYNOPSIS
Washington backcountry skiers know the name Rainer Burgdorfer. The Northwest's backcountry skiing guru and author of the popular but long out-of-print Backcountry Skiing in Washinton's Cascades, has created this entirely new guidebook to include the best, most challenging descents in Washington.
With more than 100 routes and tours for intermediate to advanced alpine and Nordic skiers and snowboarders, Burgdorfer's guide is the definitive reference for the Cascade region. Each trip description details the best times to go—including year-round opportunities--access, starting elevation and high point, tour length and time, maps, level and type of skill required, and permit information. Special sections cover avalanche conditions, snow survival, environmental considerations, weather, equipment, and techniques. A seasonal cross-reference table helps readers select tours by season.
Featuring 100 b&w photos and 90 maps.
