reviewed Backcountry Skiing: Skills for Ski Touring and Ski Mountaineering on April 22, 2011 Backcountry Skiing
This is the best backcountry touring skills book I've read or skimmed. It's extremely thorough and clear, such that it will be accessible to someone just stepping out into the mountains for their first human powered ski day, yet still offer seasoned veterans a ton of new and interesting information. I have no criticism.
