Description
Welcome to Snoqualmie Pass, the most classic, most popular backcountry skiing and splitboarding zone within an hour of downtown Seattle. From legendary couloirs and steep faces to mellow glades and low-angle powder, this bundle puts the entire zone in your hands.
Together, the fully updated second edition ski atlas and the waterproof, foldable 1:24,000 topo map lay out 130+ routes (135+ in the book), plus approaches, exits, circumnavigations, and high routes. You get detailed run descriptions for every level of skier and rider, along with the bigger linkups that make Snoqualmie famous.
Professional ski guide and author Matt Schonwald breaks down each zone’s terrain in practical terms — slope angles, terrain traps, convexities, avalanche exposure, glacier-style hazards in the high routes — to support real decision-making. Both the atlas and the map include ascent and descent lines, resort boundaries, trailheads and parking info, Avalanche Terrain Exposure Scale (ATES) ratings, aspect, and more.
Coverage includes:
Humpback Creek, Silver Peak, Granite Mountain South, Granite North + Low, Denny Creek to Melakwa Pass, Source Lake South, Chair East + Snow Lake Divide, Chair North + Snow Lake, Wright + Roosevelt, Chair Peak Circumnav, Snoqualmie Mountain, Phantom, Commonwealth West & East, Kendall Stump + Lakes, Kendall Adventure (West, Central & East), Alaska Adventure Zone, Mini Snoqualmie High Route, Lower Rampart + Margaret, Cold Creek Overview, Roaring Ridge, Twin Lakes + Zipper Couloir, and Mount Catherine.
