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.

"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."
