Backcountry Skiing in Washington's Cascades

This is a superb resource for skilled skiers who would like to get further into the backcountry and escape the crowds of intermediate skiers who throng to the easier, more well known spots. The Seattle backcountry ski community considers this book to be the premier guide for the area. Friends have been known to steal their friends' copies. Burgdorfer makes it clear that this book is for those who already know what they are doing. It includes tours that have been removed from newer books and excellent specific information on local snow, avalanche and weather conditions. Learn how to figure out where to ski on Saturday by paying a little attention to the weather during the week. If you are lucky enough to find a copy don't loan it out or you may never get it back!
