Description

The San Juan Mountain Range speaks for itself when it comes to remote and rugged terrain in the west. Highway 550, passing over three passes (Red Mountain, Molas and Coal Bank) and through the heart of the town of Silverton, brings power-hounds to some of Colorado’s most coveted and diverse backcountry ski terrain. The locations showcased in this ski atlas offer the entire spectrum of terrain and difficulty. Provided you already have a small amount of experience as a backcountry skier and have some level of avalanche knowledge, there is something in this atlas for everyone.

The completely updated 3rd edition offers new zones, new tour link-ups and traverses, a new map and more complete avalanche terrain information. You’ll find high-quality aerial photos marked with ascent and descent indicators, individual run descriptions, slope angles, aspect, Avalanche Terrain Exposure Scale ratings, parking and trailhead information and more in this lightweight and compact book that can fit in your pack. Designed to go along with you on your tours and accompany the Backcountry Skiing Silverton Ski Map and Ski App.

"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."
