Product Description

Product Description

Backcountry skiing is like camping and hiking on skis. It combines the seclusion of cross-country skiing with the thrill of Alpine skiing. This text covers technique, conditioning, nutrition, navigation, winter camping and survival, and how to detect and avoid avalanches.


From the Author

an encyclopedia for backcountry skiers!!
This is really an incrediable book born of over 30 years of field experiences and several years of post graduate research into the exercise physiology of the sport the science of which has been ignored up to now. The book is great for the beginner or expert, telemarker or parallel skier who wants to become a knowledgeable skier. It's heavy on safety and efficiency of movement in the backcountry. As a former guide and rescue specialist, I saw the need for a book that didn't talk down to beginners but really gave them the tools to excel in the wilderness. This book is it!
