Description

Endless acres of bowls, faces, glades, and chutes have pulled dedicated backcountry skiers and splitboarders to Crystal Mountain for decades. A sense of adventure still rules here, with cold-smoke face shots, devoted locals, and tour options for every ability level. This bundle gives you both the waterproof Crystal Mountain ski map and the spiral-bound Crystal Mountain ski atlas at a discount, built to help you pick the right line for your group and make good decisions in the field.

Written and reviewed by professionals, the 1:24,000 scale waterproof, tearproof, foldable topo map (18″ x 22″ open / 4″ x 5.5″ folded / ~1.5 oz) is designed to go in your pocket, on your dash, or on your wall. It shows ski descents and uptracks, slope angles, resort boundaries, Avalanche Terrain Exposure Scale (ATES) ratings, trailheads, parking info, and more.

The 5.5” x 8.5” spiral-bound atlas is a lightweight, packable field guide with 70+ pages of high-quality aerial photos marked with ascent and descent lines, individual run descriptions, slope angle and aspect, ATES ratings, approaches, exits, and notes on terrain traps and other avalanche hazards. Author and ski guide Matt Schonwald draws on years of skiing and guiding here to offer a professional, reliable planning tool, meant to be used alongside the daily avalanche forecast, formal avalanche education, and solid group communication.

Both the map and the atlas cover the same major Crystal Mountain zones:
Castle Mountain East & West, Goat Lake, Crow Basin, Bullion Basin, Cement Basin, Lake Basin, Union Creek – Crown Point, Pickhandle Basin, Morse Creek, Beyond South, Farther South, FFF, Sourdough Bowl, Crystal Lakes, Smoka Bowl, Packs + Bowla Bowls, Crystal Peak, Sheep Lake, Chinook, Deadwood Lakes, Yakima & Naches, Taco Peak, The Gates, Southback Gates, and Northback Gates.

APP SOLD SEPARATELY.

"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."
