Welcome to Crested Butte. Sitting in a cul-de-sac of wilderness where snow piles up storm after storm, it’s a zone with endless options from light tours to serious couloirs. From high alpine peaks, open bowls, and mellow day tours, this bundle puts the entire zone in your hands.
Together, the 3rd Edition ski atlas and the waterproof, foldable topo map lay out 115+ routes, plus their approaches and exits, that make the terrain around Crested Butte famous.
In the atlas, the author, Beacon’s co-owner Andy Sovick returned to his original concept for a ski atlas: Beautiful large aerial images, critical terrain information, and avalanche terrain classifications. That’s it. This is a photographic tribute to all of the most commonly skied terrain around Crested Butte, and this book will help increase your understanding of the terrain so that you can plan a successful and smart tour. You’ll find high-quality aerial photos and detailed descriptions to support real decision-making. Both the atlas and the map are lightweight and packable and include ascent and descent lines, trailheads and parking info, Avalanche Terrain Exposure Scale (ATES) ratings, aspect, a run list, slope angles, descent lengths, and more.
