Light Tours Backcountry Ski Bundle: CO + CA Guidebooks (10% off)

Description

For skiers and riders who want to tour more and worry less, this Light Tours bundle pairs two complementary guidebooks, Light Tours of Colorado by legendary ski mountaineer Lou Dawson and Light Tours of Tahoe by guide and avalanche educator Richard Bothwell. 

Lou Dawson’s fully updated second edition focuses on ski touring across Colorado, including Buffalo Pass, Berthoud, Vail Pass, Independence, Monarch, Red Mountain, Wolf Creek, and more — perfect for family days, higher-danger days, or just getting miles without big overhead hazard. 

Richard Bothwell’s Tahoe guide does the same thing for the Sierra: from Castle Peak and Judah to Tamarack, Chickadee Ridge, Kirkwood/Caples, and Carson Pass, he maps out playful, lower-angle terrain across the entire Tahoe corridor for days when you want good skiing but don’t want to mess with consequential avalanche slopes. 

In both books, you’ll find high-quality aerial photos and detailed descriptions to support real decision-making. Both atlases include ascent and descent lines, resort boundaries, trailheads and parking info, Avalanche Terrain Exposure Scale (ATES) ratings, aspect, a run list, slope angles, descent lengths, and more.
