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. Eastside Journal Burgdorfer has done his homework. His book is full of tips on how to get the most out of back country ski and snowboard routes.— (Bellevue, WA)
