Review

"""How do you get started skiing the backcountry? As your first step, study Backcountry Skier. It cuts to the core of the sport and does a terrific job of teaching the basics as well."""
Louis Dawson
Author, Wild Snow
Contributing Editor, Couloir
"""This book is packed with information that I've never seen inside a cover before. It's a superb book-or rather, encyclopedia-for the lay backcountry skier."""
John Waterman
Author, Surviving Denali

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.
