Description

Crested Butte sits in a cul-de-sac of wilderness where snow piles up storm after storm. Its a zone with endless options from light tours to serious couloirs. This discounted bundle pairs Andy Sovick’s third-edition Crested Butte Backcountry Ski Atlas with the waterproof Crested Butte Backcountry Ski Map for planning at home and quick reference in the field. The 8.5″ x 11″ saddle-stitched atlas returns to the original Beacon concept: big, beautiful aerial images plus only the critical terrain info — ATES ratings for every route, max slope angles, aspect, elevation bands, snowmobile policies, trailheads, and a large overview map — to help you apply the Crested Butte Avalanche Center forecast and choose appropriate terrain. The 22″ x 36″ (4″ x 5.5″ folded, ~1.5 oz) tearproof, 1:32,000 topo map shows ski descents and uptracks, resort boundaries, parking and access, slope angles, ATES ratings, and more. Coverage in both includes Zachary’s, White Ridge West, Avery, Upper Copper Creek, East River Mini Golf, Bellview, Baldy (NE/E/W), Gothic, Snodgrass, Coney’s, Schuylkill, Upper Slate + Pittsburg, Poverty Gulch, Mineral + Augusta, Purple Palace, Mt. Emmons North, Happy + Climax, Ruby + Owen + Purple, Axtell, Anthracites, West Brush Creek, and Teocalli. Tack the map on your wall or throw it in your pack — no batteries required. Buy the atlas + map together and save with bundle pricing.

"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."
West Elk Project
West Elk Project@westelkproject
"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."
