Description
Mount Hood is considered one of the birthplaces of “extreme skiing” in America. With a deep, reliable snowpack and one of the longest ski seasons in the Lower 48, it’s a magnet for everyone from first-time backcountry tourers to seasoned ski mountaineers. This bundle includes both the Backcountry Skiing Mount Hood waterproof ski map and the spiral-bound ski atlas, sold together at a 10% discount when you buy both.
Between the two products you get over 60 carefully researched routes that span all levels of difficulty and exposure. You’ll find classics, big-glacier ski mountaineering lines, technical descents, storm-day tree laps, and spring missions, all in one package.
