The Story
This book provides skiers with all the tools and knowledge they need to safely and successfully travel in the mountain backcountry.
The guide features intermediate to advanced techniques for ski touring and ski mountaineering, from planning backcountry trips to perfecting turns in rolling terrain and mastering uphill climbing. For those skiers ready for a more technical, high alpine environment, they draw on traditional mountaineering skills, including roped climbing, setting protection anchors, using ice axes, climbing on bare rock, and more.
