Description

Commonly referred to as “The East Side,” this expanse of skiable terrain is a mecca for those seeking a drier, colder snowpack and greater exploration. From the north side of Steven’s Pass south to I-90 and stretching east to Mission Ridge, this region offers over 300 tours accessible via ski area side-country, roadside pullouts and long snowmobile approaches. The locations showcased in this atlas offer the entire spectrum of terrain and difficulty and with a greater likelihood of “persistent slabs,” the East Side should be approached with even greater experience, education, and humility. 

In this photographic ski atlas, professional ski guide and author Matt Schonwold offers the essentials you need to plan your tour while encouraging discovery and self-responsibility. You’ll find high-quality aerial photos marked with ascent and descent indicators, slope angles, aspect, Avalanche Terrain Exposure Scale ratings, parking and trailhead information, resort boundaries and more in this lightweight and compact book that can fit in your pack. Every single page and detail are highly curated and reviewed to provide a quality, reliable decision-making tool.

"This is the kind of publication that helps you arrive cold as an out-of-towner, find the “skinners” and have at it while pounding fluffy Colorado pow and laughing at the over-priced ski lifts."

"It neatly lays out the elevations, descent lengths, aspects, trailhead directions, winter maintenance and parking info, snowmobile access, skin tracks, and exit info. That combined with helpful photos, give backcountry travelers a very good idea of what is going on."

"Sovick’s book contains established skin tracks, preferred routes, etiquette, and notes on terrain traps, gullies and avalanche paths. It also assumes all users are trained in avalanche avoidance and rescue, and includes AIARE’s “Communication Checklist,” which includes tips for facilitating teamwork and good decision-making."
