Description
Mount Baker, famous for its ridiculously deep snowpack, easy year-round touring access, and laid-back local scene, is one of the premier backcountry playgrounds in North America. This bundle includes the fully revised and updated Backcountry Skiing Mount Baker Atlas and the waterproof Backcountry Skiing Mount Baker Map, sold together at a discount.
The second edition of the atlas and the newly released ski map now include 49 new and expanded routes in 10 new zones, with remastered details, improved aerial photos and cartography, and more coverage of Mount Baker itself (all aspects: East, West, North, South), terrain north of Hwy 542, and the Twin Sisters Range. Every page and detail is highly curated and professionally reviewed to support real decision-making in the field.
