Description

Backcountry ski touring is relatively new in New Mexico, which makes it a true explorer’s playground. This discounted bundle pairs IFMGA guide Marc Beverly’s Taos + Santa Fe Backcountry Ski Atlas with the the waterproof, foldable 1:24,000 Taos topo map so you can plan at home and navigate in the field. The 5.5″ × 8.5″ spiral-bound atlas uses high-quality aerial photos with ascent/descent lines, run descriptions, slope angles, aspect, ATES ratings, approaches/exits, and trailhead/parking details across zones from Taos to Santa Fe and the Truchas Range, encouraging discovery with a focus on self-reliance and avalanche awareness. The 18″ × 22″ map (4″ × 5.5″ folded, ~1.5 oz) shows ski descents and uptracks, access notes, resort boundaries, a run list, slope angles, ATES ratings, and TSV sidecountry insets for quick, no-battery reference. Coverage includes Long Canyon, Fangorn Forest, Goose Lake + Gold Hill, Gavilan, Taos Ski Valley North, Red River drainages, Horseshoe + Lost Lakes, Wheeler Peak (East Fork Bowl & West Face), The Fingers, Red Rocks, Sin Nombre, Wildy Bowl, Big Tesuque, Nambe Cirque, Santa Fe Baldy, Trampas Lakes/Jicarilla, and more.

"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."
West Elk Project
West Elk Project@westelkproject
"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."
